smoke coming from out the hood or hood + tailpipe? what color is it? your burning off oil way too fast to keep filling it up

hondabooster

its comeing from just the tailpipe. its like light blue. i just have to put in 1 bottle of oil every 3 weeks

the preson i got the car off of said they put new valve guide seals in it. if they are not put in right would it burn oil like that.

I have bought 2 used honda and the first thing is redline it and look to see if it's buring blue. Then compression test it.

Tell the guy your buying the car from what you going to do and why. Bad rings suck....
