Mine does this a bit as well and worse when you leave it on a slope which lead me to think it could be just breather oil condensing when engine is off when you look at the trottle body its cover ed in oil well mine was | |

Surely there not going to do anything if the warrenty expires. To be honest id rather not go back to the garage I got it from as were not on best terms after they had to buy me a new headunit and replace half of the dash from where they covered it in glue :lol: | |

I would agree about it being the stem seals. My 2.0 had a similar problem, somked on startup, was fine after. A head re-build later and it was all sorted :cool: | |

dyu mean warranty with vauxhall or with another company? if u have a newish car with vauxhall warranty, vaux usually give a contribution in cases like yours wen ur warranty has just run out and there is major engine trouble. thats what happens at our dealership anyway. hope this helps, also sounds like stem seals instead of piston rings. wat car is it on?? | |

on start-up its likely to be stem seals as the oil leaks past them while the engine is resting and drips into the cylinder and burns on start-up. | |

My car has decided to chuck out loads of blue smoke sometimes when you start it and it does it when warm and cold. The warrenty ran out last week aswell didnt it :mad::lol: |
