My vehicle has been emitting an excessive amount of blue smoke from the exhaust. It drives fine for the most part but the excessive amount of smoke is worrying as the car also smells a lot like gas.

Does this car have 90,000 on it? Blue smoke usually means engine oil is being burnt. I would remove the spark plugs and upload images of the plug ends so I can see which cylinder is causing the problems, do not mix the spark plugs up. Here is a guide that explains blue smoke, but this can happen if you have a fuel injector stuck open. That's why we need to look at the sparkplugs.

I have seen the engine oil drain back holes get clogged and load the cylinder head with engine oil which will cause this problem as well. Please upload pictures or videos in your response of any problems so we can see what to help you with.
