blue smoke on startup
My friend's 5-year-old Saab95 burps blue smoke on startup. I asked if
he has taken it to the shop to check it out, but he said it's ok because it's a turbo, and turbo often does that. Do you agree? I'm not 100% sure.... Any ideas? TB

As mentioned, this is often a symptom of bad valve guide seals, but I believe I have heard the turbo implicated as well.
