at night get in front of some and floor it, you may see black smoke at that time,,or blue smoke hope not white smoke ,,repete this 3 or 4 times as you may just have carbon build up. after 4 times it should not smoke any more.
if you get blue snoke on start up (first start of the day that is valve seals,or valve guides letting oil leak into a cylinder, upon start up it burns)
1 blue smoke =oil
2 black smoke= fuel
3 white smoke= water

Had a buddy check it out, it's not black or blue smoke. It's white, but said it's not as excessive as I thought. I may get my mechanic to check it out anyway.
