If you read the first post it says right there that my car has this problem.
It's a June 2006 car, and yes got plenty of blue smoke when idling and driving off, got a bit worse over the last 2 years and obviously burns oil because of that.
I tried heavier oil and that hasn't helped much.
Replaced CCV membranes as well, problem still there. I might have to check those things again cuz I replaced them almost 60k miles ago.
But yeah I've got better things to do with 2000$ than do preventive maintenance on the stem seals
they are bad 100%. The new seal design is better, so once changed hopefully no more dealing with the issue anymore.
