It smokes all of the time but more after its been idling. I gota tell you is pretty bad.

By "blue" smoke people mean white smoke with a slightly bluish tinge -- that's a sign of oil burning. Pure white smoke is normal when warming up the car on a cold day.

worn valve guides typically will not cause smoke while running the engine, but rather a small or large puff on starting the engine. If it blows blue smoke while driving this is usually worn piston rings . Do a wet & dry compression test to make sure.

It could be caused by other things, even an overfilled crankcase. The A-series only takes 3 litres of oil.

Sometimes if it only blowa a little bit of smoke ,you can put a slightly thicked oil in to stop it from blowing smoke

But eventually you will need to put a set of rings in the motor

Another relevant question. Auto or manual? What suburb are you from?
