Morning Smoke

Now it has gotten colder outside I should probly go back to a lighter wieght but... she wasn't smoking(like huge comulus clouds) like this until my water thermosensor went out and I have replaced that. Only on start up in the morning does she do this. So it's blue and it's oil and it stanks. Once she is warmed up no smoke all the way up to 8k. Now I know what is to be said "oil seals"... well I don't want that to be. N/A, all emissions, 90 with about 180000+.
Thanks...

just keep an eye on your oil levels. Once every time you get gas should be fine, if it is your oil seals you should notice the drop.

Oil control rings are probably worn (I might be thinking of the wrong thing)
Either way its something internal which means your motor is just about due for a rebuilt if not now.

Have you Ever thought that your Cold Start Assist is actually working?..injecting Fluid into the Housings?..that would Explain the Cloud of smoke,wouldn't it?..I thought My engine was all FUBAR'd..But I COMP checked it and then Smacked myself in the head..DoH!..I still have the System on my car.

Thanks for the input I was hoping for a magical answer yet I know the fate. Turbo swap LOL. I check and oil her practically monthly. I don't have a start assist but I could see why that would be giving you a problem. My S4 had about 225K and still running strong before I sold her.
