Axle/Gears: stock pegleg 2.73 drum (temp)
what color is the smoke?

black is unburnt fuel, coming from improper ignition or running rich.
blue is burning oil, which is caused mainly through worn valve seals and is the worst on startup.
white is burning coolant, which means either a blown head gasket or a leaky intake gasket.


There's your answer
