If I let my 2013 1kd idle for say 10 mins I notice a bellow of blue smoke when I take off, it is also using a little bit of oil.
Now if I don’t let it idle for long and just drive it as normal I don’t get smoke nor oil consumption.
I have also noticed that there is a oil residue coming from the 4th pot around the exhaust manifold.
No smoke when driving, under load, nothing changes, it’s only when I let it idle for extended periods that I get smoke and notice the oil consumption over day 5000 kms. I have to top up around 600ml in between services.
I was thinking maybe them valve stem seal is cactus.
Do these engines burn a little bit of oil normally.?
Note: no power loss.
Thanks
