What happened to my 9-5???

Did some shopping the other day and went to start the car, it immediatly started to runreally rough, like it was not firing on all cylinders. The "check engine" light came on and it looked like we were in "limp-home" mode. Started to limp, got to a stoplight and saw smoke coming out from under the hood. Opened same and smoke was pouring from the timing belt cover. Smelled not quite like rubber but I don't know quite what it was.
Engine is (was?) the 6 cylinder LPT, on a 2000 9-5 SE, 90K miles, oil changed every 3-5 K. Was it sludge related? From what I have read on these threads it doesn't fit the profile but...We are having it towed to the dealer and want a little knowledge to kind of give an idea of where to look and also what they might tell us.
Thanks in advance, RJ
