white smoke means A oil ,or B coolant. Black smoke is unburnt fuel. check for water drops under oil filler cap...if wet you got a blown coolant seal

Hello welcome to the forums. Please read the faqs/sticky threads at the top.

To answer your questions, the initial white smoke on startups after being left off for an extended amount of time is most likely coolant steam. Your coolant seals are most likely comprimised. You would have to open up the block to replace these. The black smoke is most likely excessive oil being burned in the engine. For these old machines, the likely cuase is the oil seals being worn down. These will need to be replaced also. Overfueling can be cuase by faulty, leaking injectors.
