Default Smoke

Hello,

00 Sport. 3.0L.

I got light blue smoke coming out of my exhaust when idling. Cant see much smoke when driving. Mainly idleing and the 1st punch of the pedal on take off or reversing.

Anybody else experience this?

Also got a bad oil leak at the back of the engine. Its on the valve cover as well. Not sure if its the rear orings or the valve cover.


thanks

If it smokes after idling a whileI would assume the valve stem seals are bad.

Thanks,

The valve seal job. What do i need to do it. Just the seals and a valve cover gasket. How many seals in the 3.0 engine? How much for seals? Is it an easy job? Drain oil first?
