so last night i was driving home and looked in the rear view mirror and saw tons of smoke billowing out the exhaust. engine runs/idles fine, no stumbles, no heat issues... but smokes continuously now. the smoke is bluish and smells of oil... definitely not a coolant or gas type smoke. nothing is leaking, smoke comes from the tailpipe and is dependent on engine speed, ie, more smoke when RPM's increase. coolant looks clean. and there is tons of smoke. if i let it idle in my driveway you'd think it was on fire. any thoughts? thanks.
