white smoke means problems, its usually a head gasket leak and coolant gets in the exhaust. blueish gray smoke is from burning oil. too much oil might cause blueish gray smoke from oil getting through the rings. Too much oil is almost as bad as not enough. I would check the oil and if your not sure, dump it and fill it up w/ the correct amount.
