Hi guys, so I've got an 08 Puma which has a noticeable about of blue smoke on start up. Happens for around first five minutes and then runs fine. If I drive it in the first five mins I leave a smoke screen behind. Any ideas?

Blue smoke usually = burning oil.
How many K's on the clock?

On start means valve stem oil seals.

Oil from the crank breather is my guess. Pat

Thanks for the response. 145k on the clock at the moment. Hasn't really been looked after from what I can see!

what oil are you running in the engine?

IMHO....
*Change oil to a 5W40 SEMI SYNTHETIC (such as Penrite HPR DIESEL 5 5W40 semi synthetic)
*re-evaluate at the next oil change (10,000km)

P.S note... modern common rail diesel engines contrary to popular belief... the internal clearances are bigger to reduce internal engine friction to assist in meeting better emission standards.
