Engine Smoking

I have a 92 Maxima SE with 190,000 miles on it and it is smoking. Is it something that could be reasonably to fix or should I start looking to rebuild or replace the engine?

Thanks for any replies in advance,

Mantia

It is coming from the tailpipe, light blue in color.

Thanks

light color smoke means its running lean, not enough fuel, maybe fuel filter...when was the last tune up?
