Blue smoke is oil being burnt in the engine but not sure what the common culprits are on a G. Could be the charger though - when was the last time you had it rebuilt?

well it was rebuilt about 10,000 miles ago and i hadn't even thought of that to be honest. i will check the boost pipes tomorrow but i should imagine that it won't be as easy as that! it would be nice though!

keep the thoughts and opinions coming guys

i suppose i haven't done any work on the car for a couple of weeks, its time to get dirty :brickwall: :snipersmile:

Could be the valve stem oil seals in the head, what's the milage and has it had any top end work?

 

maybe the head gasket leaking oil into the bores which is getting burnt

 

or worst case it could be the piston rings letting oil past

 

I'd guess it'll be the first if the charger's in good shape
