'97 9000 CSE Turbo - exhaust smoke

I'm trying to diagnose whether I'm burning oil or coolant...
Exhaust is smoking under heavy acceleration and deceleration. Smoke appears bluish sometime and whitish other times.
Soot in tail pipe looks black.
Not seeing any mixing of oil and/or coolant.
I did a compression test, both dry and leak down. Results are as follows:
Cyl # 1 2 3 4
Dry 150 145 146 145
Wet 154 159 163 160
I recently had to replace the fuel pump motor and I don't recall seeing this exhaust smoke problem before...(but maybe I just didn't notice it).
I don't seem to be losing coolant or oil either.
A possible next step would be to retorque the head bolts. Thoughts on that or other ideas?
Thanks,
Todd inMA
