That time of year again. I always forget. Which color smoke is indicative of oil, rich mix, and coolent leak. Blue? White? Gray?
Also has anyone tried telfon rings to help alleviate oil seepage on slighty worn valve guides?
Thanks for any and all info. Ian /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazyeyes.gif
 
There's an easy way to remember the bad smoke:

Nobody wants "the blues," especially your car!
 
Sammy, does that mean that white isn't bad?
 
White is water, either condensation (not so stinky) or coolant (very stinky).
