If you have lot of unburned fuel then yes it is black if just some then it's blue.
Water= steam not smoke

Oil = white smoke. Try heating piece of metal until it glows and put it oil bath like when hardening metal in oil: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHMWN-A_6RY you will see what I mean. Also I have seen plenty of 2 stroke air cooled scooters and mopeds with too much oil added to petrol around giving white smoke or chainsaws for that matter.

That's news to me. I've always seen blue smoke as burnt oil, not gas.
