hope you find out what is going on shovelman

Compression test won't show bad valve seals. A leak down test won't either.

He as a couple of worn valve seals. Nothing more.

White smoke on start up. Water in the exhaust. Condensation.
White smoke when running. Water in the combustion somewhere.
Blue smoke when letting off of throttle. Valve seals.
Blue smoke when taking off. Most likely rings.
Black smoke. Fuel mixture issues.

Pretty much what I was thinking.

Problem is that it's quite the ordeal to get to the intake valve seals...

I wouldn't worry about it unless you are loosing more then normal amount of oil.

Yeah, might just experiment with different oils to minimize it.

At least you're not a crop-duster.

You ever get behind someone, who is blowing out a trail of blue smoke the whole time you are behind them.

Hope its a quick fix OP and goodluck, I run Non Res'd TP though no smoke here but I do get a funky smell whenever I'm at a stoplight with the windows down but I've seen here in forums that that's normal? O.o

I'm no Genious, but I did stay n a Holiday N Xpress!... I'll say it's N-harent in teh VVEL system of dis VQ37VHR...
Drink'n a quart of oil in ONE K miles is easy....High Revs will do this...
I've never w1tnessed dis in my Z, but I've never recorded the Xhaust flow Either! I can smell teh sh!+ 93 unleaded octane burn'N too, nas+Y!

Isn't it a lot more effort to type up a post in whatever language that was? Does something like that just make autocorrect say "**** it, I quit?"

I assumed he was drunk

I should add to this that it did smoke on the dyno this past week (at high rpm immediately following the pull) but not as bad as it did with different oil in the past, so I think it is definitely oil type dependent and I wonder if everyone's would do this if their mods were the same and they ran the same oil... I dunno.

He has to be. Shortly after I quoted him, he sent me another pm basically explaining how this is just some ricer forum and he spells how he likes. If he's not drunk, he's retarded.
