What color smoke? Bluish is oil (worn rings or really worn valve guides) black is way too rich of a mixture (choked or mis-jetted engine) I'd pull the spark plugs and see what they look like. While they are out, you might try a compression test and see how good that is.

Oil smoke is basically white with a bluish tint. Similar to tobacco or ermm, "other" smoke. Dig? ;)
