I recently noticed that my wife's car is putting out a little bit of blue smoke when the car is first started. What does this indicate? and what can I do to correct it?

Hi areid2007,

Blue smoke means oil is being burnt up. If it is white it is ok.

Most probably replacing the valve seals would help if the smoke is not much.
