If I remember correctly, it was blackish blue - so it wasn't just you being rich. I especially noticed it coming up behind you in T2/T3...

I doubt it simple oil blowback, as I had a ton of that before (Magnuson commented that the inside of my blower was one of the messiest he'd seen), but never (as far as I know) had any noticable smoke out the tail...

Either way - hope you have it remedied soon so we can get you back out on track!
