Re: blue smoke

From my experience, smoking at idle and initial start suspects bad or worn out valve seals or guides. Bad rings or turbo will smoke more when open throttle. check pcv valve and you can also take oil cap off and see how much blow by you feel.

here is the the thing sometimes it smokes at initial start up and sometimes it doesn't. and sometimes when it doesn't smoke at initial start up I will drive somewhere and then when i stop it will be smoking a little bit. I don't really know if it smokes under wot it is kinda hard to sit and watch my mirrors for smoke when I am driving at wot. the pcv valve is still basically brand new maybe 1000 miles on it but I will check it. I am still learning about cars what exactly is blow by? I am assuming you would take the oil cap off while the car is running? thanks
