Should you be concerned if you see blue smoke in your exhaust? YES! This means that your engine is burning an excess of oil, which could mean that you have worn valve guides, piston rings, etc. If you start to burn an excess of oil, this will cause problems for other parts of your engine, such as the spark plugs, causing them to go prematurely bad. Also, you will be making an incredible amount of pollution, and this will cause you to fail emissions testing. However, if your engine does make a lot of blue smoke, it could mean that it needs major work, which means major money. You should definitely check into this before the problem gets even worse, which means even more money out of your pocket.
