do you still get black smoke after the spark plug change? i would suggest some aggressive driving to clean out any carbon deposits. the oil smell is probably something else completely as it would not cause a black powdery residue. it could be any number of things but i would suspect an oil leak somewhere. are there any oil spots on the ground?

you may want to post this on the main tech forum to get more responses from the techs.
