blueish smoke! need help
Went to meet up with a friend to sell some a/c lines in Alb. Well as we were leaving i got on it. He said there was white smoke with a slight tint to it coming out of my exhaust. I stopped and looked at it. When i rev black smoke comes out but when it goes back down to idle the blueish smoke comes out for a little bit. The car is still pulling hard. It is also tuned just about perfect. Oh yeah i just looked at my radiator overflow which had been filled up with water when i left solid tech and now there is not much in there. Anybody know what is up or what it could be?

Re: blueish smoke! need help (hollaback6)
sounds like a combination of things
1. Black smoke..rich fuel mixture
2. blue.... burning oil (rings, head gasket blown, turbo seals, valve stem seals)
3. white ...coolant burn ...head gasket, cracked sleeves, h2o pump, radiator
i would guess that since you seems to blow smoke when you rev, that its a combo of being too rich (possible HG problem) and or valve stem seals
but it could be a whole host of things
start by doing a compression check
