Default Bad Smell, White Smoke, Rattling spark plug

Hey Guys,
Just doing some tidying up under the bonnet, had the falcon running.
Noticed this horrible smell, had a sniff around and it's coming from the exhaust.
There is white smoke and a reasonable amount of water dripping from the tip.
I'm sorry I can't describe what the smell is, it makes my eyes and nose burn when standing nearby.
I believe the normal smell is meant to be like eggs and the current smell is far from this.
It occurs only at idle and a small amount drifts out when the engine is off.
When you give it a bit of gas the smoke disappears. Engine is warm.

On another note no. 4 spark plug is rattling. I noticed the lead moving around and felt the plug and it seems to be hitting something in time with the rpm. :
Any ideas?
Cheers
