That is from the pressure line... ( the line that connects the pipe to the tank)... It's normal...

Just like TAZZ said that is pretty normal both on my Nitro RCs do that also.

Just like the guys said. It comes from the exhaust. Either smoke or the hot exhaust gases hitting the cool fuel and giveing a foggy effect. Like opening a cold soda and seeing the "steam" come out of the bottle.
It is nothing to worry about unless it is really dark blue to black in color.

Mr Ward I will have to disagree, steam is water that has been heated enough to vaporize, the smoke in the tank is just that smoke, it is a result of the oil in or fuel reaching its point of vaporization via the combustion of the nitromethane
