I wouldn't use a smoke machine if I were you the fluid leaves a horrible residue on things which probably won't do the engine any good

The real deal smoke testers (a redline smokepro is usually the weapon of choice) burns light oil, like baby oil. This leaves no odour, residue or stains but if a machine is burning something thicker or heavier then this would certainly be a cause for concern as mentioned above.
