Default Hey guys...maybe you can help

Hey guys pretty new here but I got a questions maybe you can help me with.
Well long story short I brought my car down to the dealership to get the oil pressure sending unit fixed. They told me that my power steering pump was leaking a bit(maybe relevent). Well I get it home and drive it to work (about 15 miles on the highway) and after I got there noticed it was smoking. I noticed it before I brought it but was deff not as bad. Quite a bit acctually from what looked like the back part of the engine. It was a white smoke with no smell really.
Could it be power steering fluid leaking and burning? Or some other oil related problem?

It's pretty hard to say,could be a lot of things.
Might just be residual from the job done but could also be a problem.
I'd gunk the engine clean and look for any leaking fluids,if it gets worse instead of better there must be a problem.
Put some newspaper or card board under the car and let it idle for a while to see if anything is dripping off the engine.

If that doesn't work you could be looking at a head gasket.
