Blue smoke

Normally Doesnt smoke at all. It\'s been stud for about two day\'s due to MOT running out. Anyway, Started it up 2 day and it puffed a cloud of blue smoke out. Then as it warmed up it was gettin better, then reved it slighty and it would kick puff\'s of blue smoke out!

Whats up with it - It\'s using no water or doesnt have any \'mayo\' on the oil cap.

Ps, its a \'95 1.4 16v ecotec sport.

Sounds like the valve stem seals aren\'t as fresh as they used to be.

piston rings?

j1400 is more likely to be correct
as rings will tend to allow fuel into the oil check your oil level and see if the oil smells of petrol
