ok, well the last couple days ive noticed my car is puffing like a bluish smoke from the exhaust. when im driving and i accelerate it smokes pretty bad. or if i just rev it up it smokes when the rpms go up, and a little after that. i also noticed that there is oil all over my engine bay, and my dipstick is popping out every once in awhile. The car also came with a breather, and oil comes out of that as well, but it can't just be from that, cause its kinda all over the place:barf:
 
Thats alot of blow by... Could be the engine going bad or it could be the pcv going bad.... sounds worse than a pcv though... there are a few ways to check the rings but im pretty sure it requires taking the head off and puttin oil on the pistons and see if they hold the oil...
 
check your pcv valve on the valve cover... or just replace it. they are like 5 bucks. sounds like that or a bad case of blow-by. or both. hope not tho.
 
Like they said, could be blow-by. Best way to check is pulling the head. But compression test is a must first. Good luck.
