ive got blueish smoke coming from the exhaust and from under the car/rear wheel area. the other day when i started after not starting it for 2 or three days white smoke poured from the exhaust and from under the car but it stopped and has only done that once since then. its not using any coolant and i know since the smoke isnt the same color it doesnt seem to be related but it never did this before. i guess theres blue smoke for some reason and i also have an exhaust leak, but i cant be sure yet bc i havent been able to get under there to look.
it only seems to do this in park.

I need to post a video on here of my friend's 1st Gen doing all of this. It's hilarious just how much there is, almost like he paid $100 to get a part to make it do what it does. We're not talking a few puffs, it's like a damn cloud got stuck in his exhaust.

The second I saw it I said "Oh **** man! Your car's eating coolant! Shut it down!" He laughed and said it does it all the time. (He hardly ever drives it, hasn't driven it in about 2 months now.) When he fixes it he's getting an engine swap anyway, so it won't matter. I will, however, work out posting a video of if so you guys can give tips/laugh.

white smoke might be gas... injector leaking overnight and almost causing it to flood? mine always billows white smoke when its flooded, I started it up after taking it out of storage once and it made so much smoke that some guys from the fire department saw it two streets away and rushed over cause they thought my garage was on fire.
