I have a 1995 Hyundai excel, drives fantasticlly, 160'000 kms. for 5 months it have blue smoke from exhaust after long idle, pretty much several times a sunshine, very stinky!
Got stopcock seals replaced 4 weeks ago, mechanic said in that may be residue for a while.
Drastically improved after one week, very soon it's apparent possibly twice a week after very incredibly long idle(barely there).
I also have a "dirty" catalyctic converter because of the grease burning prior to seals one replaced. Could this remaining blue smoke be a clump of oil still sitting contained by old cat converter burning after idle as it heats up?
It sound close to most of your problem is solved, but at the tempetures that a good cat convertor is opperating at, i would assume that theur could be anather problem. If it simply happens after a long rust time, then the convertor is probebly cooling down, and afterwards the smoke is appering becouse the convertor isn't able to burn the grease. It could actually be a few differant problem, and serprizingly may not be grease at all. It could be the brand of gas you are buying, alot of us today buy fuel from the cheapest place it town, which usually isn't a top brand approaching say Shell, or Texico. But no signature brand X and even though the fuel comes from the same refinery, the mix is different, and the lower grades of fuel use carbon to seize there octain level to whare they want them. Try tunning a couple of tank fulls of a honest name brand fuel (shell have the most amout of detergents) in your saloon, and maybe a detergent additve resembling Lucas or BG in the container, and see if it helps. If it does, consequently about every so repeatedly go put money on and put in the polite stuff. if not afterwards you might have anather problem. Oh if you live surrounded by California, the fuel is oxiginated, and will leave a faul charge at times, but I have never hear of smoke. I wouldn't worrie about it to much, unless it get worse
you are burning grease, at least surrounded by some small quantity. Oil is the solitary thing surrounded by a car I know of that make blue smoke.
could be a bajillion different things, from a slightly leaky tube somewhere that drips on something hot, or it could be a bad piston ring/seal, or a buncha other stuff.
I wouldnt verbs about it though. If most of it have been fixed, and it keep getting better, Id see the problem was solved more or smaller amount.
Answers: long fester times dont allow the cat to maintain it's operating heat but idling tend to allow carbon to build up in the cylinder and within the cat as well... if you allow it to fallow for a significant amount of time or take a great deal of short trips make sure to be in motion out every once in a while and "blow" the carbon out... go and get the car up to operating temp - nick a short drive and then put your foot into it and run the engines rpms up a short time allowing the cat to get warm up and then getting plenty of nouns through it to help it burn sour any residual carbon deposits... it is a good hypothesis to do this periodically anyway... hope this helps
