Chrishoughton1989 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Car has just started puffing blue smoke on startup. What is this most likely to be ? Turbo or valve stem seals. Doesn't smoke when driving hard or when rev. Just on start up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

steve-gers Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Does it do it on long idles or if started when warmed up or is it only on the 1st start of the morning? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chrishoughton1989 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Doesn't smoke after long idle. still does it if engine warmish. If i turn off for hour or so it will do it again. Basically every start up after been sat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
