Hey guys, this is my first post on here so forgive me if I posted it in the wrong place. However, a few months ago I hit a year of ownership with my 20’ Mustang GT. Because of this, I treated myself to some aftermarket goodies that included AirLift 3P, Corsa headers/Xtreme catback, JLT CAI, and a tune from Lund Racing.
I would say about a week or two after all the parts were installed, professionally I might add, I was leaving work as I noticed a plume of blue smoke trailing me. I quickly pulled over and examined the smoke and genuinely thought my piston rings left chat, but later noticed that all the blue smoke was gone after the car warmed up. I then took it to a shop and had a compression test done where it passed with flying ‘numbers’. Knowing that my motor wasn’t blown, I then took it to Ford where they agreed that there was blue smoke, only on cold starts, and that we should do an oil consumption test, a 3,000 mile consumption test. To me, 3,000 miles was outrageous but because they were working with me though my car was modified and still in the warranty period, I complied. Turns out the SA on the case got fired and now after 4,000 miles, they want me to do another test for 1,000 miles, I’m complying, however, the blue smoke is really beginning to bother me.
As I stated, this only happens on cold start, the compression test passed, the modifications to the car were minimal and to me have no chance of causing an oil issue. I’ve began thinking of repairing it myself or at another shop that isn’t ford but am trying to guess on what it is. In my opinion, I think it is my valve seals, I’ve also read it could have something to do with the PCV system. I’m sort of stumped. Any ideas or opinions are greatly appreciated.
EDIT: figured I’d add the car began the blue smoke after I hit 19.5K miles, currently at ~23,990
