i wasnt sure were to post this so i just went ahead. my car was smoking a little when i started it and would go away untill i floored it. it would let out a little cloud of blue smoke. i drove it like that for a few months but when it was time i changed the oil and when i started it up it was smoking like crazy. im talking realy raly bad. it was ridiculous. i desided to take it apart. when i took the intake of i discovered a puddle of oil on the intake valves that were closed. it was just puddled in there. do you think the head is messed up? engine only has 95000 miles on it and i had replaced the valve seals about three months ago. its not coming through the intake because it clean. please comment or sugest. thanks

Intake valve seals if the intake is clean. Only place it could come from, besides through the pcv system and intake manifold.

Under pressure I would say it's the rings man. Not hard to do but I don't see an issue with oil setting in the head when the engine is off. That cycles down the block on the inside when running but blue smoke says oil burning.

car is back on the road, turned out to be broken piston rings and worn out block. worked it all out and im back to cruising
