At idle, there is slight sight of smoke coming from under the throttle body. It looks like a white, but evaporates really fast kind of smoke. Do you know what this is? Thanks

Look to see which hose is leaking. There are several short hoses under the throttle body. To buy a couple feet (for spare hose) of 1/4" coolant hose at an auto parts store will set you back almost a dollar. If it is one of the heater hoses, it may be a bit more involved, but will still take less than a couple feet of hose and about a buck. Having a shop do this will cost you much, much more.
