    I checked over the engine for new oil spots and oil/dirt buildup and didn't see anything. Also 100% positive I put all 4 quarts of oil in the motor. I check it once a week to make sure it hasn't dropped and last week when I checked it was at the full mark. Since last week I have only put about a good 60-70 miles on it. The engine coolant is a little low so i'll re-fill that asap. I'll be pulling the plugs tomorrow and letting you know what I find.

    +reps btw

    Thanks!

    Ok, sometimes with clogged PCV valves and/or worn or damaged valve stem seals, you won't really see or pay attention to it smoking, but it will mainly smoke after you take off from a red light after it has been idling for a minute. Or if you let off the gas for a few seconds, and then get back on the gas. Maybe try to look behind you next time you take off, or have somebody follow behind you. Good luck.
