Black smoke is carbon smoke, blue smoke is oil smoke. If you don't see any visible leaks, then it may be blowing it out while under a load or going down the rosd and not smoking when it is sitting still. Try either having someone follow you to see if it smokes or drive it a little hard and stop and get out and look right away to see if it is smoking. It could also be a valve cover leaking and it dripping on the exast manifold and burning it off instead of dripping on the ground and that may be why you are not seeing any leaks on the ground.

no leaks???
hmmm... if you are sure there are no leaks, it may just be that the car uses more oil.... older cars, especially.... a lack of black smoke is no guarantee that the car is not using oil...

If there's no leaks it's burning it. Blue smoke that you won't necessarily notice coming out the pipe.s
