[British-cars] MG TD oil leak

[Ron L]

You've reminded me of when I got my TR-3.  A friend was following me and
noticed bluish flame at the tailpipe.  It was running rather rich 8-)

Oil smoke tends to be bluish-white.  Black is generally too-rich fuel
mixture.  Pure white is most likely coolant.  They each have distinctive
smells.
