Running Rich ? Symptons ??

Running Rich ? Symptons ??
Hi Team,
I have had a classic turbo since Jan and have had no problems at all with it but my mate followed me from work and said that it seemed to possibly be running a little rich he thought it seemed to be smoking a little.
I have done a search but it is difficult to refine what I am looking for.
My knowledge on the mechanical side of engines is limited so I am just looking for some options here. I have Subaru Warrenty on it but I would like to understand a little more before I actually give them a call.
Just to add I have checked the oil regular and it does not look to be burning any.
If it is running rich what are the symptoms, cure etc ??
Or any other ideas ?
Many Thanks
Simon

It is normal for Turbo Scoobs to run rich, its one of the ways Subaru keep the engine cool, by throwing extra fuel into the mix.
But proper overfueling could indicate a problem (maybe the lamdba sensor) and you should speak to your garage and get it checked.
