Powers1 I changed the breather yesterday, good news is that the oil is not coming out of the dipstick.

Bad news is the car is still smoking like crazy. Went for a quick run, looked behind me and it's blue smoke everywhere.

My suspicion of rings could be likely, as it smokes more under load.
How can I confirm it's the rings? Any idea of cost? Any other ideas what it maybe? Also how long would I have to keep the car on since changing the breather before I know this is another issue, the car wasnt fully warm as I didnt want to risk more damage.

It hasn't lost power and idles fine and with no engine management lights on vary if it's rings.

Still paying for Christmas....last thing I needed.
