Power steering issues
Alright so my power steering hasn't been working for a couple months, and I suspected a leak, as I've lost fluid all the fluid after about a day of driving after filling the reservoir. Today I went to find the leak, and after adding fluid, I did not notice anything leaking, but instead white smoke began pouring out of the exhaust.
This clip is immediately after startup.

Not sure what to think here. I've checked the vacuum connections and there's no fluid in them, and it ran just fine before I put fluid in. The fluid I used is Pennzoil ATF.
Thanks for the help.

Looks kinda blueish in the YouTube vid, but then again it's on my phone. That usually signals oil being burned. Either HG, or your rings are possibly going bad. Are you leaking oil into your turbos perhaps? That could be another one too

could you get pictures of how it was connected and how it should be because mine doesn't work and either and sometimes blows out smoke just as white but the duration isn't as long..
please and thanks in advance

Here's a pic from a while back. One side is attached to the intake manifold, and the other side is attached to a hose right before the throttle body (as in outside the plenum). On the 1jz it is located on the side most toward the engine. I'm pretty sure it is directional, as air has to flow from outside the throttle body to inside, so try to make sure it's flowing the right direction.
