Blue puff of smoke on start up
I got a random puff of smoke on start up from cold this morning it's never done it before, it clears fast and does not do it when driving,
I have been told I need a catch tank could this be why I get the odd smoke? From the breathers or intercooler leaking oil in my exhaust system? Car runs and idels fine, Thanks darcy |

Mine does it once in a blue moon. I would not worry about. Especialy on a cold morning. Can be a touch of dampness in the exhaust or a touch of oil.
Just keep an eye on it and if it becomes regular then dig deeper. I know what you mean though - I bit of an unerving feeling if you ever do get a puff of something out the back. When a bottom end, head gasket or a turbo goes though from experience you do know about it smoke wise. Definately lots of it. |
mine used to do that on start up, turned out it was the valve stem seals
