I have a 1997 mitishibishi eclipse gs with 105,000 miles on it. When first started there is no somle but if it is allowed to warm up for an extended period of time it smokes a light bluish/white smoke for about a quartermile. Also if sitting idleing for 4 to 5 minutes and start driving again the same thing occures. Ives checked the compression and it was fine. Ive also replaced the valve cover gasket . If anyone knows whats wrong any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks
