[s-cars] smokey Q

[pkrasusky at ups.com]

Question for you gents for a non-lister local friend of mine:

His '95.5 mit maybe 145k omits a clearish whitish smoke upon start up.
Not immediately, not until a few seconds / minute when it gets warmish.
Doesn't always do it, and it's not very thick, but pretty constant once
it starts.  Seems mostly on the cool misty days.  It really looks like
condensation burning off from inside the pipes.  Does have a *very*
slight bluish hue.  Seems to do it after having sat for like a few hours
he says.  No traceable odor.  Once it warms up or he drives it he says
it's gone.

His head gasket was done previously, and he says car doesn't use coolant
but uses the "typical" quart per thousand of Mobil 1.

I was guessing maybe valve seals or turbo seals, for lack of better
answer.  But, it's not really that blue, at all.  And it doesn't do it
upon immediate start up, nor under accel.  Sort of sounds like same
story Smokey Edweirdo Walsh told her years back.  

Again, really looked like condensation to me, but, it's odd that the
'smoke' will sit in the air upon shut off and not merely evaporate
immediately.

Thoughts?  TIA.
