You can also get blue smoke from bad valve seals and guides. Also from a bad pvc valve. Older transmissions that use a vacuum modulator. When the modulator goes bad. It can suck up transmission fluid. Causing smoke. Older GM's were great for this.

Yeah, I thought the electrode was covered in an oily film. I did not understand from OP's write up that it was on the coil side. If that is the case, then I agree with Rusty's explanation above.
