If I'm not mistaken, white smoke usually is coolant. Blue'ish/Grey is oil and black is fuel. Someone correct me if I'm wrong ...

But exhaust wouldn't cause a coolant leak ..

Is your engine leaking any coolant? If so, from what area of the engine
is it coming from??

I dont think its coolant, it's not thick white smoke and it doesnt have a sweet smell like coolant smoke would. The smoke is thin maybe gray and only at high RPM 4500 and up. It smells like it is running rich.

If your car is running on a rich condition than you would see
black smoke coming out of the tailpipes and you would probably
be smelling unburnt fuel.

Ok it does have black smoke along with the gray smoke. I gave it a few days hoping it was the new exhaust burning, but its still smoking. I does smell like running rich. What can I do to stop the smoke?
