I tore down my truck to do egr and oil coolers. When I was putting everything back together I noticed water dripping from the cold side CAC pipe. So I tasted it and it was coolant. How is coolant finding its way into the pipes?

Intake was fine, had it off and cleaned it. Im thinking the coolant in my CAC pipes is causing the white smoke. How can i diagnose that? Im stumped..

ccv has been dumped for awhile. And the smoke just smells like diesel. The water in the pipes tasted sweet, like coolant. Cold starts are fine fires right up and no smoke. There was also a sort of jelly in the bottom of the cold side pipe, it was smoky clear in color. It reminded me of the jelly formed by the ford gold coolant.
