Hey guys, had a quick question I wanted to post. I've been experiencing a pretty heavy white smoke cloud appear when I start my truck 80 percent of the time (both cold starts and restarts), and some white smoke when going from a stop very seldomly as well. The oil was recently changed and shows no sign of a blown head gasket from what I could tell, so I'm pushing that back on the list of possibilities. I'm assuming it's either the intake gaskets which to my knowledge have never been replaced, the "modulator" on my 700R4 leaking or something else.
Reason I'm asking however, is that I did read that something from the brake setup (I believe it was the brake booster?) can leak into the engine and cause this white smoke to appear. While servicing my brakes a couple days ago, I noticed my brake fluid reservoir was dangerously low. I'm starting to connect 2 and 2 here and need some insight. Is anyone aware of what hoses, lines, etc. to check for this known leak? I'd like to make sure it's not the brake system or modulator on the transmission leaking before I tear into replacing the intake gaskets.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks all!
