Clean it up the best you can. Don't use degreaser and water as it will short out all your electronics.

The smoke and smell are actually worse than the spill. Do as F_O_R said and you'll be fine. You can also let the engine idle for a while to burn off most of the transmission fluid. It will take a day or two to completely burn it off. Hope that helps! Jim
