If the CEL is flashing, i would be wary of even running the engine, let alone driving it, it could indicate something catastrophic! Use a diagnostic tool like durametric if possible to pull the codes and post here for advice, or have the car towed to the closest shop to be looked at by a professional. Good luck!

Also, my check engine light is flashing. Is this because of the blue smoke? Is it ok to drive the car until I can get it looked at?
