Your engine can and WILL pull oil past the intake valve stem seals if they are damaged or worn especially if they are cold, causing oil to get into the combustion chamber which will burn and make nasty white smoke.
    First off, know your colors out the tail pipe. White is coolant, blue is oil, and black is an overly rich condition. I DON'T agree with Anthony. So that non sense about the valve seals is irrelevent to the situation at hand. Like I mentioned before, that is coolant, not oil.

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.
