So ive used my mavic 10 times in last 3 years with no accidents. Life finally allows me to fly again i take it out of storage And when i started up smoke out of front near gimbal. Now its out of warranty and no more refresh just my luck.Smoke ive linked a video of it smoking. Now it does show video just fine in app and respond to camera controls. But at this point should I test fly It? Any one have experience with this issue?

Looks to me as if the circuit / wiring is burning out.
No I wouldn't test fly it or turn it on again until you get it looked by someone who could mend it.
 
Well your now at a point of what to do.
Are you a DIY person or send it off.
Do you now plan on flying it more than 10 times in the next 3 years
to warrant getting it fixed or just bitting the bullet and selling it as is.
If it were mine I would send it to DJI Drone Service - Your Drone Repair Shop
and see how much it will cost to fix it. Don’t cost no shipping there
or back to see Then go from there. ?‍♂️
