Bluish Smoke, need help, please! - 7/23/2008 7:34:52 PM    crosbiegrad   Posts: 2 Joined: 4/6/2008 Status: offline I have a 93 SL model and when I accelerate I get a puff of blue-ish smoke out the exhaust. I''m guessing that the piston rings or seals are shot, is this an easy, albeit fairly labour intesive, fix? Any help or suggestions would be very welcome and appreciated Post #: 1
