Hi guys,
just wondering, seeing as though she's blowing blue for about 3 mins. after start up and intermitently when idling (stop light etc.) and sometimes gray/ blue smoke after idling. she's not losing any coolant and i have a verrrry bad oil leak from the oil pump. i just did a compression test and the results are: 1. 140# 2. 138# 3. 150# 4.150# ..... i'm not quite sure if the smoking is caused by either the oil leak (wishful thinking), the head gasket ( i'm not sure about this as i haven't checked the compression in the morning when she's cold, i think the gasket may expand somewhat when warmed up and compression seems pretty good as above when warm), or the turbo ( i had it checked at swedish auto sports here in vancouver and they said the turbo was in not too bad a shape)... any insight would be greatly appreciated.
thank you in advance,
drew
