Blue smoke problem

Hi all,

Recently purchased a 1.6 Diesel Titanium Ford Fiesta TDCi, lovely car - has been well looked after. I've noticed some blue smoke in the morning when I start it and again a small amount when I leave work in the evening - from reading online a few people have suggested it could be leaky seals in the engine, so I bought some Wynns stop smoke oil supplement and tried this, it has improved slightly but the smoke is still there. Before trying the stop smoke supplement the car idled a bit lumpy when started, but this has since stopped. There is no smoke when changing gears or when the engine is under heavy load - it actually drives really nicely. Any thoughts or suggestions? My next plan is to take the car in for a decent service and have an oil change, but any other thoughts?

 

Many thanks,

Georgia

    Blue is oil in the combustion chamber, likewise it could actually be oil somewhere in the exhaust.
