white smoke after bleeding brakes?
so like in march i had to change my bmc, because mine was leaking. After replacing the bmc and bleeding the system i decided to go test drive to c how the brakes feel, when i started the car, it started to smoke, i was like wtf, it was white smoke coming out of the exhaust my first thought was that maybe my headgasket was blown but i still drove around to make sure my brakes was fine, and they were, so i decided to drive out to my mechnic to see if i had a blown headgasket, and on the drive there it stop smoking and it never overheated. So maybe it wasnt the headgasket and i check the oil and no hint of coolant in it as well so i decided to just go home instead and everything was fine since. Well i recently changed brake pads and also bled the brakes again and the same thing happen, had white smoke coming out of the exhaust again but it didnt smoke as bad as the first time and after a while it stop. I check my oil regulary in case i do have a blown or going bad headgasket but no hint of coolant in the oil even during oil change so im not sure why my car is smoking after brake change anyone have a clue about this? sorry for the long story

This is post 2 that I have seen about "smoke coming out of exaust".....
Unless its blue or smells funny, don't worry about it.

That makes zero sense, the systems are unrelated. The only way brakes can make an engine smoke is if your master cylinder and brake booster are both leaking and it is pulling fluid through the booster vacum line into the intake. If that was the case, your brakes wouldn't work properly.
