when you accelerate from a stop there is smoke coming out of the tail pipe. There is also smoke coming out if you are in slow moving traffic or stopped for an extended amount of time.

Sorry, i did not include that information... The smoke is a light grey or has a silver look. It could be blue

You should have used the “Reply to Question” link in initial post to continue so that whoever was attending to you can response when notification is received.

Do not edit the post as it will not be updated.

Blue = consumption of oil as stated by blackop555.
