I too have just recently noticed that some blue smoke will come out once I
start up the van, actually I was camping and the green foliage was a great
backdrop to see all the smoke.  I don't notice when I start it up at the
mall or work.  Thanks for the advice, I'm going to keep watching the oil,
and everything else you all have mentioned.

Thanks,
Dale
