mk3 cavalier burning smell/white smoke

In my old mans mk3 1600 cavalier on Friday, just pulled away from my house and I could smell like a burnt electric smell. Then some white smoke started seeping from around the column shroud and instrument panel. I turned the ignition off, and it stopped.

Left it overnight, tried it in the morning, fine. Took instrument panel out, column shroud off, had a look round the fuse box etc and couldn't find a trace of any burning, no fuses blown or anything. The only thing that smelt remotely of burning was the indicator stalk but it was very very faint. Everything still works fine.

Anyone any idea or encountered a similar problem?

cheers
