Shooting bluish smoke..

Smells like gas.. unburnt fuel? Is this because of my coil maybe? Just wondering if the bluish smoke is gas or oil passing thru.. its really light blue and it smells really rich. I went WOT today smoking the tires a bit and as soon as I had given it gas the smoke started comming out.

Blue= Oil
White= coolant

remove your oil fill cap while the car is running and see if there is a good amount of air surging from the cap.

blue smoke like that sounds like you mightve toasted your piston rings.

Alright..the blue could be some blowby... however I was just informed tonight I shot a flame out the exhaust.. my gf was following me and I got on it for a second..when I let off it did a little flamethrower action... definately getting a lot of fuel dumped through..

If your shooting flames all the way through a catback then yeah you might have a problem.
I shoot flames out of the pipes but its because they are so short.
