Did you loose the egr gasket? And since you cleaned yOur throttle body your car isn't used to breathing so well so you need to drive it to relearn or just disconnect your battery for a little while and speed up the process. You could use a brake clean or throttle plate cleaner to try and pin point the vacumm leak by spraying it where you think you hear it and seen If you can find where it is exactly when the idle raises

Are you getting smoke out of the tailpipe? Or smoke from the engine compartment?
You may have a bad power steering vaccuum valve causing the engine to suck up fluid from the power steering pump. This could be causing the smoke. If you hear a vaccuum leak, obviously you need to track that down asap, as it could be greatly effecting your idle quality. Take your time. Go grab a propane torch, and use it, unlit, and pass it around all of the vaccuum lines, and see if the idle changes. If you find a place where the idle changes, then you found your leak.
