is it pinging or knocking? hopefully it's nothing major and you just need a valve job

Black smoke= burning oil (valve seals or rings)
White smoke= burning coolant (headgasket)

I thought burnt oil typically had a blueish color to it, where as black smoke was usually fuel

black is a result from running rich / bad rings..etc
blue is old oil / bad rings
white = coolant indefinitely.
