Yeah do what Helix said, I had a Pontiac one time that was getting trans fluid into the engine, it smoked quite a bit until my uncle fixed it. He knew right what the problem was.

general rules for smoke -

white means coolant leak somewhere, into the combustion chamber. Usually a cracked head or a bad head gasket.

grey or blue-grey means oil is getting into the combustion chamber, either past the piston rings or thru the valve guides.

black means the air/fuel mixture is 'too rich'; meaning its getting too much fuel
