Default smog comming out!!

ok so i was doing a few runs out in the country and, in the forest.. after my first, and second runs, i spelled something funny, i checked it out and, smoke was comming out of the muffler. the car was in neutral, and idleling. it would do this for a minute at least then it would stop and everything would be fine. i'm just curious if this is common or not for 3kgt. i just did a oil change etc.. im thinking i might have put too much oil? any suggestion would be greatly apreciated.

You think you overfilled the oil..? Check it first. What color was the smoke; white, black, bluish? How hard did you run it?

the smoke was blackish.. i ran it about 6000rpm on 1/2/3 gear... ever since, everytime i push the car smoke always comes out. and yes i checked the oil it looked to be over by a cm only, would that be the reason of the smoke comming out?

Be more specific man.

Basically your running rich for some reason. Under hard acceleration all turbo cars will put out a little black smoke.. .but not at idle.
