Hello , I have purchased a 1999 honda crv. I have noticed that there is blue smoke comming from the exhaust about 30 seconds after start up and then it goes away after running for about 45 seconds. I have been told that it is my valve stem seals and that these should be replaced. Just recently my check engine light has come on. Is this related to the valve stem issue?
