    Blue smoke!

    On start up I have noticed puffs of blue smoke. This continues for about 3 minutes until the car has warmed up a bit after driving. It then dissapears....what could this be?

    Probably worn valve guides. Mine does it on startup but im not running valve stem oil seals. Aslong as its not bellowing blue smoke out all the time it should be ok.
