The lower radiator hose of an '86 should have been replaced at least twice by now, but maybe hadn't. They can blow rather dramatically. When you replace it (which you should in any case), make doubly sure that the hose is fully seated over the radiator pipe extension and the hose clamps are not skewed, out of sight.
Also make sure that the water pump bearing hadn't seized up, which would cause the belt first to smoke and then to break.
When you get everything back together be sure to bleed the air out of the cooling system using that fitting somewhere near the thermostat, as I recollect.
