Smoke from the righthand side of the engine is almost certainly a leaky rocker cover gasket (the oil drops directly onto the exhaust header that side). Nothing to really worry about if its not a big leak. Can be replaced diy its just a bit fiddly.
Drops of oil in the tail pipe???????????? Very much doubt its oil. Is the exhaust smokey when hot?

cheers jonny thats a relief, will get it sorted to be on the safe side, exhaust is a little bit smokey but not much as for the black stuff guess i will have to see what it smells like, could it be dirty petrol?
