Had a quick question... I know white smoke is two things, it can be a variation of burning oil but usually oil is blue but sometimes white... and also it can be coolant... I started the car up and it is puffin' away but no bubbles from the radiator and my oil is not going down to the degree of the smoke... I just fixed a leaking injector and there was actual gasoline in the exhaust system... like raw fuel... the car feels like it will drive fine i took it up to 6 grand in the driveway with the clutch in... What would you do? I don't get to do much smoke analysis with AC and Electrical... lol I wish I had the diagnosis job at work that would ROCK. But ya... so no bubbles oh and I have 170 psi compression in all four cyllinders so there is no compression problems... they are all firing fine from what it feels like she is running smooth... just smoke bellowing out of the exhaust system... when it is heavy it lingers but when it isn't heavy it doesn't linger too too much...
Anyone have any ideas?

check your other injectors. also, the smell of exhaust is much more telling and helpful than the color.
