The first thing that comes to mind is that you are burning brake fluid, you say you replaced the master cylinder, why, what with , was it a s/h unit or recon. are you loosing brake fluid?, if so you have your answer. your car is fitted with vacuum assisted brakes and every time you operate your brakes vacuum from the inlet manifold enters the brake booster situated in front of the master cylinder and if there happens to be any fluid there from a leaking master cylinder is gets sucked straight into the inlet manifold and burnt in the engine hence the white smoke. have a good one!

The most common problem is valve seals.
They crack over time allowing oil in the top of the head to seep past the valve guides, and stems.
Every time you step on the brake the oil in the top of the head surges forward a little, and gets drawn down into the intake past the intake valve.
You could replace them, but it's kind of time consuming, and a bit messy.

Are you confident that's smoke and under no circumstances water vapor? that's common to work out somewhat bit condensation upon initiate up yet when it persists you've a foul head gasket. make confident the coolant is sparkling and also you at the on the spot are not getting any water interior the oil. Any good radiator save can do a block verify attempt to work out in case you've were given any head gasket complications.

Probably a blown head gasket which can cause many problems, one of them being white smoke coming from the tailpipe. I know the dealership did a pressure test on the coolant to check for this problem.

Are you sure the smoke is from the exhaust ?? Sounds like you could be getting brake fluid on your brakes or it could be a leak allowing brake fluid to get on your exhaust pipe. Just a guess.
