Black smoke is fuel, Blue smoke is oil. How long have you run it? Oil is likely getting past stuck rings. Make sure there is enough oil in it and then work it a bit. A stuck valve is going to give you a dead cylinder (which btw might help it pump oil, due to no load on the rings)
I assume oil is coming from both pipes and sort of even?
