Im haveing a problem when i sit at a light and take off from the light to make only left turns is only time it does this in my 94 explorer it puts out a big cloud of blue smoke and it has some clattering coming from the engine it only puffs for a second and the smoke and clattering stop i checked a whole bunch of things and here is what i found the water is fresh green looking. The motor oil which i changed like 400 miles ago is like a quart and a half high and i checked it when i changed it and it was fine and i checked the trans fluid and it isnt on the dip stick at all. what do you all think the problem might be the motor oil has a wierd smell but im not used to watercooled cars any more i havent worked on a water cooled front engine car in a long time im used to burnt up nasty oil that i dont eaven know what is right and wrong any more can some one maybe shed some light on this for me any help would be great

Has this just started with the oil being high? Quite possible that thats your problem. May want to drop and drain the filter to get some out.
