Running rich produces black smoke.  Burning oil produces a bluish, oily
smelling, smoke. Water produces white smoke. You could have a leaky
head gasket, although Toms suggestion of water in the gas tank sounds
like a much nicer cause of the problem.

My guess is the head gasket. I hope that Im wrong.
