I have noticed that my valve cover gasket does need to be replaced and the engine could use a bit of an engine shampoo cleaning to get rid of all the oil that has been leaking past this gasket. I haven't checked my rubber boot intake yet to see if any water has formed there. But I did add some Bardhal to my oil and it still smoked a lot. Then I decided to get an oil change, which is honestly something I should have done since day 1 (instead of driving the car for the past 3-4 days). I decided to spend a little extra coin and went with Mobil 1 full synthetic oil and a Fram filter. Not sure if going to the synthetic, or just changing to fresh oil made the difference. But the smoking has almost completely gone away on cold start up. I was amazed at the difference!!! The car felt a little smoother too and seemed to be more responsive. I guess you always have to start with the simple things first and go from there?
