So I overfilled the oil, and took it around the block. Smoking heavily. I returned and dumped the oil and filled correctly(wish i had the first time). Now it still smokes at start up and smokes when its warm and im in lower gears or crank the throttle. How the hell do I fix this? Do I need to replace air filter, could it have gotten saturated with oil? All the smoking is coming out of tail pipe. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Its a 07 Gs500f

Pretty white looking, but has a blue tint and smells strong of oil.

If the gasket was blown would it not run badly? And would it not always smoke not just at start up and when really hot.

Take it for a long ride to burn off the oil from the over fill.Keep a check on the oil level and make sure it's not burning it off faster than usual.If it is,you probably have bad rings.
PICS are GONE never TO return.

check the air filter. if its ok then its probably in the exhaust pipe, and will need to burn off, drive it.
