So am I correct in assuming that the vehicle didn't smoke like that before the injectors where replaced? Residual oil or gas in the exhaust does not sound like the issue here. White or bluish smoke would be oil consumption. However, a blown head gasket or coolant in the combustion chamber will cause white smoke or actually steam and the exhaust will have a sweet smell to it. How well does the vehicle run? Is it rough at idle, cruising, or under a load. Are you getting crappy gas mileage? Are you loosing oil or coolant? With the vehicle cold, check the oil and coolant and top off as necessary, then go on a road test. Maybe the smoke will clear up or maybe you'll notice what fluids are evacuating the car. Too much gas from bad injectors will wash the rings down and cause oil consumption, poor compression, and gas in the oil. Gas in the oil will thin out the viscosity making it easier to seep past washed down rings and, worse yet, could wipe out crank bearings. Make sure the shop did actually change the oil. Good luck
