Smoke coming from under the throttle body

[CTOESHO]

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

How do I go about fixing that? Should I take it in? How much $$$ involved? 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.

if it is the heater hose half of the hose is rubber and the other is steel what i did was cut the steel in half and got a pice of hose and clamped it to the steel and reinstalled it
