What color was the smoke? Black, white, or blue?

Well, after sitting through a couple of winters in my garage, I was able to get my DeLorean already for a summer of fun (hopefully)

When I had parked it, I had drained the coolant and drained the tank. During it's storage I had replaced them pesky trailing arm bolts and the various filters. (Fuel, Air, Oil)
Additionally I had used BarDahl's 'Top Oil' fuel stabilizer in case I didn't get the tank quite empty and had sent some oil down the air intake to lube the upper cylinders.


So, upon reactivating, I fill up the tank with gas, (mixed with a bottle of the 'Top Oil') changed the oil and refilled the coolant. Started her up and bleed the cooling system.

All sounds fine and dandy, except (oh no) that when I started her up, the exhaust was very noticeable, i.e. billowing clouds of smoke, white smoke. But I let her run, bleeding the coolant and waiting for the fans to kick in.. Still smoking up a storm.....

The next day, I started her up again, and low and behold, the exhaust was nice and clear, normal even, runs beautiful smooth and steady. So thought I'd go for a spin around the block, and again, about half way around the block, the smoke was coming from the pipes again.

Checked the oil and it seems clear, not obvious traces of coolant.

Any ideas on what it might be? Any courses of action?

Thanks All.
