I think: blue means oil
white means petrol(too much)
Im not sure why your motor is making funny colurs now though wait for some of the mechanical problem solvers get on

constant smoke? have you let it run and then wait for it to cool then try again? does it smoke up again? does it smell of oil? |

It is more than likely just some oil that has run down on to the top of the piston crown. I would not panic just yet!

sometimes when motors are left for a good while they just need a good long run to clear everything out of it i would try this before i do anything drastic |

Also possible the valve stem seals have gone hard and doing nada. Smoke from excess fuel will be black, white/blue smoke is oil. Hopefully it will clear, but if you have some stuck rings things may not be so flash. See how it goes after a proper run with some load on the engine. cheers Jacob |

From what you have said Jimmy it sounds like the whole mini is burning oil and you should just give it to me
No mini = no smoke
