My car smokes a little at idle????

[hippy]

Its a 98 gsx with a 6 bolt dosent lower any oil except a tiny bit cause i have a small leak but at idle my car will sit there and sometimes just puff a little bit of blue smoke?? I can drive it easy or hard and it wont smoke on the road thne come to a stop wait a few seconds and boom starts to spew out a little blue. t3 t4 61 trim on it not even a year old yet , So i was thinking it may be the turbo seal/? Cause this motor didnt smoke before? im goin to put my 255 pump on and see if this helps top get rid of some of the smoke by richen it up a little bit?? ANy one know what this may be???

worn valve stem seals.
From the sound of it, it is nothing major right now, but be aware that replacing them just about requires the head be pulled.
Unless you have a Over Head Valve Spring compressor worth a shit. If so, then you have lots of options that do not require the pulling of the head.

if it were the seal, it would blow smoke all the time, especially under boost.

I just had the same problem. It was my turbo seals. The turbo was under warranty so it's currently being fixed.
