I have a 1990 laser AWD turbo and it smokes occasionally when it idles but clears up when you start moving again. Could this be that the valve seals are going bad or is it more? I haven't done a compression check on it yet but plan to soon. What could I do to find what the problem is? and what could the problem possibly be?

Start with a compression test and go from there :)
