How can I tell if I am burning Coolent??

I have an 82 Z28 350 and when Im at idle at a light I always see a whole bunch of smoke coming out of my exaust. It is smoking way to much to be my oil because everytime I check it, its full or very close to full. Where do I check to see if its coolent Burning? Thanks Greg

If the smoke is white, that indicates water/coolant getting into the cylinders.

Black means too much fuel, and blue means you're burning oil.
