Blue smoke?

[Perpendicular]

JT sat for a couple of days, went to kick it off yesterday and it sent a fog of blue smoke for a second or two and then normal. Has not done that since. Anyone else experience this?

Not a great sign, I would take it to dealer even if to go on the record as having seen it, have them do a check. Unlikely to get any results from it, but at least you start a record of it.

Good idea....

BTW, 2300 miles or so.

If they stick a probe up the tailpipe they may be able to detect a faint trace of something that isn't visible, so worth a trip.

Valve seals maybe…

Not here.. BTW before you go to the dealership, you are still well within the warranty, attempt to replicate this issue and have the video running to capture. This will assist in the diagnostics. Be sure to note how long it sat prior to the start up that demonstrates the Blue smoke.

I have the same issue. Blue smoke on cold start up. Only happens occasionally. Very frustrating… Plan to take it in soon. ‘21 Mojave, 5k miles.

Have you been consuming oil and having to top up?

 

[HitByPitch]

For me, haven’t noticed change in oil level.

Here’s a video. Sometimes smoke is heavier and seems more blue. Other times lighter.

This sounds like something that an alien would do to you upon being taken.

Thats textbook valve seals...using any oil in normal driving? I guess maybe ring/rings not seated, but it would wisp smoke all the time.
