I think: blue means oil
white means petrol(too much)

Im not sure why your motor is making funny colurs now though wait for some of the mechanical problem solvers get on 8)

It is more than likely just some oil that has run down on to the top of the piston crown. I would not panic just yet! :wink:

sometimes when motors are left for a good while they just need a good long run to clear everything out of it i would try this before i do anything drastic

Also possible the valve stem seals have gone hard and doing nada.

Smoke from excess fuel will be black, white/blue smoke is oil. Hopefully it will clear, but if you have some stuck rings things may not be so flash. See how it goes after a proper run with some load on the engine.

cheers

Jacob

From what you have said Jimmy it sounds like the whole mini is burning oil and you should just give it to me :wink:

No mini = no smoke :lol:
