Someone posted this some time ago:
Blue - Burning Oil
White Billowy - Burning Antifreeze
White Steam - Condensation in exhaust system
Black Smoke - A rich condition
SMOKE COLOR AND ITS CAUSES
BLACK SMOKE - Restricted air flow ( dirty / obstructed air filter; plugged exhaust; restrictions in exhaust system; defective turbo / supercharger); Overload; Improper injection (poor atomization, injector dribble, late injection)
BLUE SMOKE - Worn or stuck piston rings; worn valve guides and stems; high crankcase pressure; worn / supercharger oil seals.
WHITE SMOKE - Misfiring cylinders; water in fuel; air in fuel; water in cylinders (blown head gasket, cracked head or liner); lack of compression.
