The idle up air valve (PS ACV, or power steering air control valve) in the PS pump is leaking. PS fluid leaks into the vacuum line and eventually into intake manifold, hence the white smoke. Many posts on this. Either replace the PS Pump, just the air valve on the pump, or eliminate the air-valve with a plug on the PS pump (many feel the valve doesn't perform a useful function so just eliminate it and the leak). Don't confuse PS ACV with IACV which is completely different but sometime miss quoted for this ailment. DO YOU NOW WHERE I COULD FIND DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CAP IT, I REALLY HATE THE WHOLE SMOKE THING.....

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ALL CAPS????????????????????????

CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY MY POWER STEERING LEAKS AND SMOKES WHEN STARTED, TAKE NOTE IT IS NOT BURNING OIL. ALSO I DO NOT SEE ANY PUDDLES UNDER THE CAR. ANY ONE HAVE ANY IDEAS?
