Bought this vehicle without noticing the blue smoke coming out at startup.
What is your question?
No real issues with any rattling or engine noise. And after the start up it seems to run fine without any smoke coming out. Only when the vehicle sits and when stopping and accelerating does the blue smoke come out. I do know a mechanic that can do a compression test on the cylinders.After researching and having some mechanical knowledge it looks like the culprit is bad valve guide seals. How much would it cost to replace the seals and is it even worth it or should I just replace with a remanufactured engine? I was hoping it wasn't something too serious however there is great concern if we need to travel any great distance. The 2010 minivan is in excellent condition and the people that sold it were probable concerned also. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Acceleration after stopping
