my car has been sitting for about a week because of brake problems and i started it today and it puffed blue smoke for a min or two then cleared up. to my knowladge this is valve seals right? if so, is it ok to leave it until a later time when i can get new ones in there. thanks.

blue smoke is def burning oil. possibly what you think. check it again to see if it was a fluke

Check your PCV before anything else. Its very possible that the valve is stuck and its puking oil into the intake.

i know is dosnt do it enough for me to see from inside the car when im driving it daily, ive only noticed it when it sits for a few days. i also put stp in the oil when i did a change if that makes a difference?

oh man

that has got to be my fucking problem. oil puking into the intake. I pulled my intak off about 1 month ago when i used top end cleaner. It was all dripping with oil like a wet vag. So i didnt think anything of it because i have seen that before so i just cleaned it up and threw it back on. Driving this morning im noticing my oil gauge dropping almost into the red a couple of times.... and when i hit the gas the pressure would actually drop instead of go up....

 

So i let her sit for an hour, pull the dip stick the sob was bone dry. I feel like a dumb ass becuase i thought i was seeing things the last couple times i started the engine i saw a little puff of blue smoke come out the exhaust, then it was fine... And I wondered why when i used my remote start in the cold the last couple times the engine stumbled and stalled.. jesus christ, :shock: the sucker was running on practically no oil. and yet it was still smooth as hell, not even a little noise or anything. 3.1s rock.

 

so anyway, replace the pcv valve you say? I just did this 15,000 miles ago. could it really be time for a new one again>? what am i saying, of course it is, its a fuckin w/.
