I noticed that the transmission was leaking. I put new pint in and it started leaking out the bottom right away. I started driving it to move back to the back of the house when I noticed that a lot of white smoke was come out from under the truck. This truck never smoked before. Is the trans fluid going back into the engine and make all the smoke or what?

if the smoke is coming from the tail pipe then you need to replace the shift modulator on the transmission, if the noise is coming from trans area you will probably find its leaking on the exhasut making it smoke.
