a description of the smoke. color, smell, is it all the time is it worse during certain times.

 

i think.. most likely a valve stem seals is bad...

 

color of smoke looks blue can't be valve stem seal cause it dont smell like oil. smell like gas and it only happens when its warm.

 

blue smoke pretty much means oil. mileage of engine and engine with turbo?

 

dorsnt sound like it could be fuel, i cant think of anything that would dump fuel when warm, but i can think of a bunch of things the could leak oil when warm

 

it was the intake manifold gasket, we replaced it and it stopped smoking.

 

What kind of manifold gasket do you have? I'm having the EXACT same problem and I used Hondata IMG. before I installed the gasket I noticed it has machined lines that was pretty deep in the area where the coolant port is...

Just wondering because I originally thought it was the HG and I replaced it with an OEM and now I'm having this problem after the car warms up...

 

Good info PumkinSvt, thanks for posting the solution to the original problem to help other ppl out!

 

Mine is doing this too. I just want to know why the intake manifold gasket would be the reason the car smokes ONLY after it is warm

 

I know this 1 =D


Oil is getting into the turbo and that's what's making it smoke... Take a look that maybe it.

 

Wow he's already fixes it in 2009

 

Sorry but I don't go on this web site everyday.
