White/blue smoke...

Happens a lot.
My latest Travelall purchase had the same thing.
I pulled the booster to clean and paint and it was full of fluid.
So I emptied it out and rinsed with brake cleaner.
I know the diaphram isn't long for this world. I May end up with hydroboost if it does go bad.
 
Things are fine here allen. Check the vacuum line and see if there is any oil from the brake cylinder in it. You could also disconnect the line and cap off the vacuum, run the engine until its hot and see if the smoke clears up. I'm going to be up the area till Monday. Camping up near mirror lake, then heading down to lake city Friday. I'm going to stop by tomichi tire Friday, so if you need help diagnosing I would be glad to help.
Phone # 303-981-1023, ask for steve of course.
 
Thanks for the input guys! Steve, I hope you have a great time camping and thanks for the offer, but I am working all weekend unfortunately. I just replaced all the pancaked body bushings with new ones and now my fan is binding on the shroud:( so I cant start her up until I remedy that issue. I think I am going to order a new brake booster, I bet brake fluid isn't great for the internal parts... And I swapped it out of a '76 a while back when mine quit on me.
