Clutch fluid leak causing smoke?
I've had success with getting help on here before so I figured why not try again? The car is a 2000 frc about 2 months ago (700-800 miles ago) I had the clutch replaced with a monster LT1 twin disk, tick master cylinder, factory replacement slave, bearing etc. and a speed bleeder line. While under the hood yesterday I noticed my clutch reservoir is low. I filled it, started the car and pumped it while it was running, now while pumping it I see a faint white smoke that's very thin coming from the back of the motor towards the center. I checked a few times to make sure I wasn't just seeing things every time the clutch gets disengaged I see that smoke. What do you guys think it could be? Leaking slave? Speed bleeder line? It doesn't smell like clutch material burning but more like brake fluid/clutch fluid. I don't see anything visually that gives it away, don't really see any leak at all. Please help! Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'll have to check that when I get home, the bleeder is routed up from the back of the block and ends by my master cylinder reservoir
