Marshall,
During the last 3 weeks, when I did not have the car plugged-in at night
during the colder weather, it blew blue smoke out the tailpipe upon statrup. As
soon as the engine warms up just a little bit, the smoke disappears.
It is also a bit slower than normal, too.
I changed the oil and filter about 6 weeks ago and thought I'd try using 5w30
Mobil 1 after searching all over for the new 10w40 Truck & SUV Mobil 1. I've
gone thru 2 additional qts since then.
I don't want to sell the car, either. I will be keeping it for awhile longer.
If this is a head gasket leak, that would explain some oil residue on the
pass side of the front of the engine, as well as some on the injector pump. The
car leaks small amounts of ATF, but not motor oil that I can tell.
The coolant reservoir is clean and always at the proper level.
I will check out the areas around the head gasket in the front.
Thx.
Nick Gough

Dark blue is much prettier than tan and it doesn't show dirt - a real plus!
