Default Blue Smoke

I recently used seafoam on my car, like maybe a month ago. Now the car is beginning to smoke. At first it was small and very light. But day by day it gets more blue and there is more of it. It only comes out at a certain time though. The only time you would see the blue smoke is when im launching off a red light or stop sign(with a warm engine). I checked the spark plugs and number 2 and 3 were filled with a 1/8 inch of oil. I did a compression test and they all came out fine. So what could be the source of problem?

Blue smoke = oil burning. You have some sort of leak, a faulty seal or ring somewhere. This happened to my buddy at one point, so he put in higher weight oil and it seemed to fix the problem.

if your expericeing blue smoke/blow by you need to do a compression test dry then wet to determine where the problem is the head or the block.

If oil is filling up in the spark plug tubes it might be time to change those seals out

your oil in the spark plugs may be bad valve cover seals and may have nothing to do with the blue smoke.

I just got my teg and it was doing the same thing. Changed the valve seals and vcg and it was fine after that. I got good compression too when i tested it both wet and dry.
