Hi Folks, First post but have been lurking for a couple of weeks.
I recently purchased a 1985 C4 but the previous owner was not very helpful when asked questions after I bought it from them.
I immediately changed the oil to synthetic not know what they were using, and now it seems to get a puff of smoke while idling at a stop light.
Yesterday I was stuck in rush hour traffic and the exhaust was putting out enough oil smoke to be a mosquito fog machine.
Is it the valveseals and how much would it cost me to repair?
Or can it be the synthetic oil and I should change it back to regular motor oil?
Thanks
