blue smoke at start up
#1
#2
Shoot... I just cranked mine up and fogged the driveway out with blue/white smoke because is just plain cold out. No I didn't wait for the light I just fired it up and let it stumble a cylinder or two and the idle for a few second and moved it to the shop...
Smoke at startup can range from light mild to full fog bank at startup time which doesn't bother me. But continueous smoke afterwards is a problem and normally points to VP44 problems or injector problems.

Drive it. If its just at startup, it wont hurt a thing. Could be seeping a little past the valve guide seals, but nothing to worry too much about. Make sure you use a good quality oil and filter. Might check the turbo just for the heck of it to make sure the seals are still ok in it, outside of that, drive it like you stole it!!
