Any diagnosis or advice would be greatly appreciated
So, i've noticed in the last 4 months or so that when I start my 94 ST, the car will puff out blue/white exhaust I would say once a week. It occurs randomly and I thought it might be because I had let it sit for a 2 days but like I said its random. No idea if its a big deal or not. This only happens once in a while on start-up and not while I am driving. Thanks |

Blue smoke=burned oil
White smoke=Burned coolant If its only at start-up then you prob have bad valve seals which is normal wear-and-tear on cars. -------------------- "To Protect And To Serve The Wealthy" -POLICE

Its noting to worry about unless it smokes bad when your driving it, before your next oil change add about half a bottle of ATF fluid into your oil, drive for 100-200 miles then change your oil immediately don't leave it in their too long it should reduce (smoke) or fix your valve seals problem, ![]() ![]() -------------------- "To Protect And To Serve The Wealthy" -POLICE

Valve stem seals require specialized tooling that can be purchased off ebay, I replaced mine while the head was still installed on car, it's a PITA though and time consuming. Search valve stem seal on this forum.
