Brake fluid in my exhaust?!

So my project for the weekend was to replace my brake pads, rotors, hoses, calipers. I've had to empty 3 big bottles of brake fluid in the reservoir but still ends up empty. But now my exhaust is smoking like crazy. I have oil so that's not the problem. Any help?? Thanks!

If it is burning your brake fluid then i would guess your master cylinder and/or power booster has gon bad and your engine is sucking the brake fliud into your intake and burning it, but i would be leaning to a really bad master cylinder.

I'd try to clean as much as possible because brake fluid will soak into some gaskets and seals, make them very soft, and rune them.

a new master cylinder in the least. you might be able to empty the booster and reuse it.

+1. ... Check the big vacuum line that supplies vacuum to booster, it should be dry inside; handle the 90* plastic fitting at booster carefully, they are known to break.
