its a known issue with MANY engines as they age and rack up miles. start adding about 1/2 quart of Automatic transsmission fluid to your oil at oil changes and it'll slowly do two things. 1. clean the engine gently 2. soften and renew the seals slowly. i no longer have any oil leaks, burn only the tiniest puff on startup, and dont loose more than 1-2mm's off my dipstick between 5000 mile oil changes. though i did also seafoam my crankcase, 1/3 can and 20 minutes idling followed by an oil change. alright thanks i'll try that. Make sure you change your oil within 200 miles after you put in the A/T fluid. Hmm..Question, Mine doesnt puff blue smoke but at start up it for like 10 secs it will blow white smoke..Is there a big difference ? White smoke is coolant and in rare cases fuel. -------------------- "To Protect And To Serve The Wealthy" -POLICE
