I am looking for a product that I can spray in the intake of a car to make the exhaust smoke so I can try to find any leaks.

If you don't want huge clouds of bad-smelling smoke, regular engine oil poured slowly into the carb will do the trick.

Just trickle a little auto. trans, fluid into the intake, just a little and any leaks you may have will show up immediately.

Yeah it sure will, The wife's Oldsmobile blew a diaphram out of the modulator valve. Which caused the engine to suck in ATF. Boy did that makes clouds of smoke :)

Years ago I had a pickup with a stuck lifter. As recommended by others, I slowly poured a can of STP through the carb - smoked like crazy, but did free the lifter. Better have a wind blowing or you won't be able to see your exhaust leak for all the smoke.
