Default I need some help.

So this 2010 f150 I recently bought started to smoke near the front right above the fans when I would accelerate fast, and the check engine light would turn on for a bit. The check engine light would turn off but it also wobbled a little bit when I accelerated fast. So if anyone could help please do.

That's not much to go on over the internet, need a lot more info. Kinda assuming you can check this out yourself, otherwise that sounds like real good reasons to have a pro look at it.

You need to find a way to pull the codes from that CEL, and to track down the source of the smoke. If you mean the whole truck physically wobbled, you should check out the suspension and drivetrain. If you meant the light flickered, back to getting the codes. Sometimes these trucks don't like to give codes when they should, you may have to have a scanner plugged in while the CEL comes on to get a code. If the smoke is oil leaking onto something hot, you might want to check your oil level before driving too much, and then track down the leak. If it was actually steam, not smoke, you may have a coolant leak over there.
