Blowing white/blue smoke from stoplight.
Car: 88 Civic Hatch DX Auto. Stock 1.5L sohc. So my car only smokes from a stoplight in first gear while warmed up. Car is not overheating. Coolant is good. Oil is good not milky or anything. Not burning any oil either. I do think it smells like oil when it happens though. I check the oil periodically and it stays level. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

Re: Blowing white/blue smoke from stoplight.
White is water (sometimes running slightly rich will spear as white or gray just smell it you can smell burnt antifreeze , blue is oil straight up , generally if it smokes at idle it's valve seals if it smokes under acceleration /load it's rings , sounds like you might need a head gasket and valve seals to me
