Question Blue smoke from muffler when pressing gas pedal.

I just bought a 97 Civic LX. It has 185600 miles. After it is warm, blue smoke that smells rich with gas comes out of the muffler when I hit the gas. Could this be bad rings? To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

Re: Blue smoke from muffler when pressing gas pedal.

Blue smoke is a sign of burning oil in your fuel. Somewhere in your block there's either a leaky gasket or bad piston rings not making a perfect seal and some oil is getting in there. It's a big expensive job to rip apart a block and replace gaskets, especially if that doesn't end up fixing your problem.

BUY VIAGRA NOW!! YOU NEED IT!!! IT WILL FIX YOUR OIL BURNING PROBLEM!!!!

Seriously though, blue smoke = burning oil. It's coming from either the piston rings as Dex mentioned, or your valve stem seals. Get a compression test done on the motor and that will tell which cylinder is the problem.
