you probably just roasted your pinion seal. Right after i put 3.73's in i had to replace the pinion seal. It happens. But it could also be the pan gasket. THey should fix it for free

Definitely sounds like the shop's fault; fluid got on your exhaust and caused the "smoke show"!

Could it have any thing to do with my torque arm not being set at -2 degres???

Torque arm setting wouldn't cause a leak; it will cause premature U-joint wear.

The shop could also have over-filled it and it blew out the vent on the top. Have the shop check it out.
