Question:
My 1997 1.6i 16v Ford Escort (UK) recently passed its MOT but I have again noticed that it puffs out blue smoke at high speeds (around 70mph) The clutch is worn and will be replaced soon but is this causing the problem or just not helping the problem. There were no issues with emmissions on its MOT. The car has now done over 115000 miles so its been worked hard. I see I could probably source a clutch for around £50 but what else would need looked at to resolve the blue smoke issue? Is it the oil or worse still is the engine going? Have been keeping an eye on all levels (oil water etc) since its MOT and all show as fine. Will a good tune up sort the problem? It's a good car and i'm not parting with it, just need to know whats the best plan of action to resolve it's blue smoke problems.

Blue smoke typically means you're burning oil possibly rings or valve seals2001 Hyundai Elantra A/C Compressor Replacement?
Intermittent blue smoke may mean your valve seals are worn or cracked...it doesn't take much oil to cause blue smoke out the exhaust.If it is steady smoke, it could be either the valve seals or piston rings worn.
if the check engine light is on, it could be the mass sensor, this can make the car to waste gasoline, throw smoke and have less performance
