Smoke coming from sides of car when sitting.

Does anything else leak? When my power steering line leaked it would spill some smoke out from the exhaust side.

As for the 1500rpm idol, it may be from a defective water temp sensor. There are two temp sensors, one for the gauge cluster, and one for the ECU warm up cycle. I'm not saying go out there an start throwing parts at it until something fixes it but just consider that.

Good luck.
