I have blue smoke coming out of my tailpipe and the fuel mileage went from 22 mpg (highway) to 13.8 mpg (highway). Can anyone tell me what to do?

Hello,

It sounds like one of the piston rings has broken allowing oil and low compression on one or more cylinders how does the car seem to run? Also you could have plugged drained back oil holes which can fill the top of the engine with oil or the PCV valve needs to be replaced

Here is a guide to help us
