If it's white smoke then your probably getting water into the intake/combustion chamber(s). Did you drive thru any deep/standing water and force some into the intake?

I don't follow the logic from garage7 if I understand correctly ta2 is saying that there is no evidence of power steering fluid in the vacumm lines so how does that mean that it is leaking? I would say the opposite.
Ta2 figure out where the power steering fluid is going. Do a search on the control valve (its all over this site ) and then figure out if that is the issue. I would think there should be evidence (traces of ) power steering fluid in the vacumm line. Maybe check it after the car has been sitting for a while before you start the engine
