Blue smoke from the exhaust

If you're noticing blue-grey smoke, especially on start-up, your car is telling you something. Here's what usually causes it, what you can safely check, and when to call a mechanic.

Likely causes

  • Worn valve stem seals
  • Worn piston rings
  • Turbo oil seal leak
  • PCV system fault

“Not immediately dangerous, but keep oil topped up and book an inspection.”
