    E30 Light Black Smoke from Exhaust At high RPMs

    Hi guys I tried looking this up on the interwebs and see no clear answer.

    So I just got my first E30 and I've noticed a few things. First it was burning oil ive had to fill it up with 1QT of oil in about 300 miles of driving (mostly harder driving back roads and such). I've had to fill the coolant up a little bit because the light came on and Now every time I accelerate hard from a stop or seldom when I'm in motion a light black cloud of smoke comes from the exhaust. The head was supposedly rebuilt at 194k miles and now its at 216k miles. It also has a DINAN chip. I don't know whether it's some kind of leak or running too rich any help on the subject would be appreciated.

    It's running slightly rich, which is fine for high RPMs.
