ATF leaks onto headers and burns, what color should it be?
Can bluish smoke be ATF burning off? Not very blue, just a faint tint. *Edit: Fiance was with me and says that I am seeing things because there was no blue she could see, at all.*
Not sure where it came from but my car puked tranny fluid EVERYWHERE on the interstate not long ago. Just want to make sure only tranny fluid went somewhere.
I swear to god I am going to kill this god damn transmission!

I had that happen in my old blazer. I was towing a horse trailer in the mountains and it overheated foamed up and puked out the vent in the top all over hell. the truck was acting fine i had no idea until I looked in the rearview mirror and blue smoke was rolling out the back. covered the whole underside of the truck, much worse than youre photo's. I let the thing cool off and went about my business. it definately factored in to the early demise of the tranny though. sure you dont have a cooler issue?

I do not think I have a cooling issue. The transmission temperature gauge stayed right where it should be the entire time. It lost a lost of fluid. I drove with smoke for probably 15 minutes before I got home so a lot of it was lose on the way.
I really have no time to look at it yet. Three exams and a quiz the next two days. I am going to see if I can figure out where it came from Friday, hopefully it was just a line issue around the radiator/cooler......
