Puff of Blue Smoke at Start-up???
Hi,
My wife's 97 850 GLT (127K) puts out a puff of blue smoke when it starts after sitting for a while. Starts and runs well, plenty of power and gas mileage is good.
Is this a turbo problem and if so what do I need to fix it?
Thanks,
john

Most likely it is oil seeping past the valve guide seals. Our 95with 192K gives a puff if the car is parked at a nose down angle for any length of time. How many miles on the car?
