Should I be worried by puff?

Recommended Posts

Went out in my new VR this morning and noticed something.

 

I've been driving quite over-sensible this week, due to lack of funds for petrol, so again I was driving like a "Grandad" (no offence intended for the Gramps out there ;) ). I got to a T Junction and gave her a little bit of welly to get out in front of another car, and as I did so, I looked into my rear view mirror and noticed some smoke, not a huge amount, with a slight blue tinge to it, I think. I say I think coz I only saw it for a split second, and the car behind the smoke was blue as well.

 

Could it just be that she hasnt really been over 2k revs for a week and this was the first booting she'd had, or is it something a lot more serious? :(

Sounds like it's burning a little bit of oil. No great surprise. Just keep an eye on the oil levels...

I hav'nt booted it for a while and give it a good clear out

Valve stem oil seals, no biggie and if its not unsociable dont worry about it!
