Do you have any idea how many miles are on the engine?

Do you have oil in the intake?

For the blue part of the smoke I am going to guess there is oil in the intake, the CDR needs serviced or replaced.

The white fuel smelling smoke, that could be an injector sticking or leaking.
It also might be a timing issue.

How well does the engine start after setting for a day or two?
