This is what I was told a long time ago. I'm not even close to being a mechanic, but here it is. Probably way more complicated than I realize.

1. White smoke- steam, or water related
2. Blue smoke- oil
3. Black smoke- gas/fuel

Yep, that is correct.

Not even close.

Look at these runaways running on oil.

I blew a turbo seal once and I never seen so much pretty white smoke in your life!

Here is a stuck injector

Blown head gasket



The only way I can tell these apart is the smell. Easy to tell if it's fuel, oil or coolant from the smell.
