CJK440 Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 I noticed that my 96 Legacy blows some blue smoke at startup when cold, it goes away in a few seconds. On any other engine I would say this is valve seals leaking but am not sure with this engine arrangement. The car has 94k miles on it. 2.5L DOHC. What should I look for??

Lesbaru Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 My 96 Legacy 2.2L blows billowing WHITE smoke at start-up when it's cold. Dealer told me that was just cuz it's cold. Haven't noticed any blue, though. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimpomm Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Are you sure its blue?Black smoke for a short bit would just indicate running rich which is normal on start up.Blue does sound like valve seale,but if its only a short while I'd let it ride till it lasts for a couple mins.
