1999 Saturn SL automatic
My car is blowing blue smoke it is burning oil. No oil leaks on the
ground, I have 92800 miles. What could it be and how much is the cost. |

Most likely cause are your engine's valve seals or the piston rings. Do a
Google search of this newsgroup for a procedure to "unstick" your rings. Some have reported limited success in significantly reducing oil consumption. The overnight procedure seemed pretty simple and not very costly. It seemed worth trying first before you invest major dollars in rebuilding the engine or have to dump the vehicle. Good luck (and post your results so that others can benefit from your experience.) Bob "littleone2" > wrote in message lkaboutautos.com... > My car is blowing blue smoke it is burning oil.
