Hey Everyone. I need some help. I have white smoke coming from the front of the engine,  smells like nothing and does it on idol. Its only on the passenger side and its confusing me. Everything is new. Its a 5.3L boss stoker with a YSI V7 Vortec supercharger. Could it be an exhaust leak ? I have two filters on the top of the engine. Passenger side its at the front and it looks like its coming from that. Oil I believe it okay, but could the engine not be putting coolant throughout correctly? I put all new coolant lines in and I am frustrated I cant figure this out. any ideas? Does not smell like oil, gas or anything. Its just like something is burning.

It could be coolant leaking!! Check your coolant reservoir to make sure its full.
Did you purge the system? What years your truck? mileage?

Due setup an intro at your earliest convenience,thanks. Z

Can you post pics of your setup?  How much smoke are you seeing exactly?  Could it be a loose connection from the intercooler causing precipitated air to hit the hot engine and creating the smoke?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
