Source of Oil Burning?
This is a tiny problem. My fuel injected 418 has developed a very, very small issue on the right bank, wisps of blue smoke, almost invisible at idle. It' looks like one cylinder only. It smells like burning candle wax or something close. Dark black coloring in the pipe, but it actually looks like the other side as well. I'm not sure if it is just at idle or low speed, but it might be getting a bit worse, so I need to at least start looking. The motor otherwise runs fine as it always has.
What is the best way to tag the problem? Maybe a stem seal? One could hope I suppose. I haven't pulled any plugs or compression checks yet. I know engines well, but not that familiar with SBFs issues.
Any starting point suggestions?
Thanks,
