On startups, especially when it has been sitting for a while, a puff of blue smoke comes out. The car has 80,000 miles with a whole rebuild at 74,000. It broke the engine in, driving easy changing oil and making sure everything set correctly. Are my seals going?
Thank you

Are you losing oil? Thats weird if a full rebuild had been done. Did you replace the valve seals? The piston rings might of not been broken in properly

Im losing a little bit, nothing drastic. Im not sure what exactly was done, I know that the valve cover gasket was done, however when I was changing the spark plugs on the cylinder 1 plug there was oil on the sleeve of the spark plug. Could that be it?
