Car been in family since new as run a round for several members of family. Recently not used for approx 6 weeks until i bought it from sister and drove to my home in Scotland. Upon start up before i set out on the long drive north blue smoke came out of exhaust but i thought it was just as it had sat idle for 6 weeks.
NOT TO BE !! Ever since every time i start it up blue smoke bellows out the exhaust for approx 1 to 2 min. After this inital time period all if fine. I have tried an additive but no luck. Am i right in thinking oil leak, possibly seals or around exhaust manifold ??
Car only done 41,000 miles from new and in very good condition. Got MOT in 2 weeks time and at a loss what to do next ?? Paid £400 for car but fear repair to it may cost even more ?
Any views / comments on fixing the problem ? what the problem is ? possible cost of repair ? if i were to leave and get thru MOT any long lasting damage ?
All replies most gratefully appreciated.....Thx a million........
