When you accelerate from a stop there is smoke coming out of the tail pipe. There is also smoke coming out if you are in slow moving traffic or stopped for an extended amount of time.

Sorry, I did not include that information. The smoke is a light grey or has a silver look. It could be blue

Do not edit the post as it will not be updated.

Blue = consumption of oil as stated by blackop555.

Mr. Michael, I would like you to have a friend or two look at the exhaust also and get back to me th color as you dont know weather it is grey/blue. Could indicate either a rich fuel mixture or burning oil!

Completely different things!
