I notice this puff of blue smoke about one time out of the week when I start of my car :nonono: ,64xxx miles .I asked some mechanics at work and they said it could posible be a over night leaking valve or a piston ring going out? if any one has experienced this proble or might think of the problem being something else please let me know.
By the way could it be a burned out cat?

thanks

Unless its persistent, its probably fine. At 64k miles, your engine is getting a bit old, and the valve stem seals are likely getting a bit worn. You can check to see if you have a problem by examining your plugs for excessive oil consumption.

Alot of 4v's do this. Though I've never noticed it on mine, I've read about a bunch of 99-01 and 96-98 guys who have noticed there cars doing the same thing. Moral of the story, don't worry about it until it starts smoking while you're driving.

no oil build up what so ever in the plug, but thanks that gives me a piece of mine. :thumbsup:
