I have a 99 Saturn SL2 DOHC 1.9L with about 80k miles. It drives and shifts with no problem. But any time I sit at a red light or just idle for a minute or two and go to pull off, I see smoke coming from my tail pipe. Then I noticed that my valves starting tapping a little bit so when I check the oil, I see that it's low. I put oil in it and about a week later, I have the same problem all over again. I think it's my valve seal going bad or my valves are loose. I replaced my valve cover gasket so that's not the problem. Just want to get it stright before I get my turbo. Please help if you can
