lol. werd.

FYI, just incase your getting any weird puffs of smoke in the future.
im not sure about these, they're off the top of my head.

white = bad headgasket, coolant
grey/black = unburned fuel
blue = burning oil.

again, im not positive about those.

i just thought about that so i thought i'd share.
