Smoke

Damn, my car has been smoking for a long *** time now. There is still no noticeable loss of power or serious problems that I have figured out, turbo boosts the same, doesn't burn excess oil or coolant, but the fumes are killer sometimes. Usually its a faint smoke, but sometimes it is like a cloud sitting around my car, sometimes blueish, sometimes white, and I see smoke only at idle, never seen any while driving. My gas mileage is down from 17 to around 15 which seems normal enough anyway... any one else have anything like this happen and figured out what the problem is? Does this sound like normal behavior?

Mods are RB Racing Exhaust
and Autozone Intake Filter.

Is it coming out of the exhaust? Mine has a decent oil leak now, along with demonic possession, and the splash oil on the exhaust heat shields makes it smoke sometimes...... I can't wait to drop the SBChevy in it!

yeah the smoke comes out of the exhaust. And even though blue is oil and white is coolant, it does both sometime or another, but the coolant level has not changed for over 3 months now and I add about a half quart of oil every 1000 miles or so as I used to.
