Black smoke-you are burning oil, engine is worn out. White smoke-you probably have a blown head gasket. Good luck with either one, both are expensive to repair. The above answer is only partially correct. Black smoke is not oil burning. Black smoke is an overly rich fuel mixture. Blue smoke is burning oil and white smoke is coolant in the combustion chamber.
