Black smoke, White smoke, or Blue smoke ? Burning oil causes a
heavy blue smoke, which hangs low, and lasts awhile. Too much fuel
causes Black sooty smoke, that goes away quick. Water [ steam ] is
white, and dissappears almost instantly. Knowing the color of the smoke
is a good clue. Steam could mean gasket failure, black [ fuel ] faulty
injector. Oil burning gradually occurs, unless something fails.

You have a hole in a piston or you have very bad rings.....Looks like a
overhaul is needed...Run a compression test on each cylinder to find out
which one it is...

I'm hoping for black smoke, that would be a fuel injector or two
hanging open.
