My mods are listed in the sig. Here is my problem when my car idles there is excessive (bluish-grey)smoke and water coming from just the drivers side tailpipe. When I turn it off the smoke continues to roll out the same tip. I know not having cats will produce a lot of smoke, but the drivers side pipe smokes maybe 3 times as much as the passenger. I cannot pinpoint a specific smell to it, but it stinks.
Bad rings maybe? I dunno. Any info would be greatly appreciated. There is 132,000 miles on her if that helps any.

If its bluish grey , thats oil....all bad ...maybe you popped a head gasket. Check your coolant to see if it has oil floatin around on top and see if your dipstick looks like a milkshake
Oil would not cause excessive water to come out the pipe.... thats why i think it isnt the rings.

I would check the rings, or maybe u gotta leaky injector on that bank...anyways, a little water is ok to come out of the tail pipe, it means you r havin effeicient combustion.
