[QUOTE="5.0 Hatch, post: 16689035, member: 37951"] I have an 01 and once it's warmed up, it smokes blueish at idle. No smoke on startup or while going down the road though. I'm leaning towards valve seals but 200k miles is telling me it could be rings. It's almost like flipping a switch from no smoke to smoke. I changed the pcv and moved to 5w30 high mileage oil and nothing changed. However, I only put about 15 miles since those changes. Was thinking of maybe trying an oil separator. Ideas? Car only has off-road exhaust [/QUOTE]
