Think Aaron hit the nail on the head with a stuck caliper. I pulled off the rim and the rotor has a nice purple tint to it and a ton of score marks.
I took it around the neighborhood yesterday from some troubleshooting. Smoked a ton at first. Stopped at let it sit for 30 min. No more smokeage on the way home....but no brakes either. No loss of any break fluid. Ordering new calipers and rotors and all hardware for the front next week. Hopefully this is easier than replacing the headgasket in her. I am a novice backyard mechanic and learning as I go.

Damion
Thanks for all the help.
