Fuel is black, oil is blue (unless Cali mandates 2-stroke premix for winter)

Do you get any smoke between shifts, or on hard deceleration?

It's probably just tired valve seals.

Condensation in colder weather can appear blue, but will disperse.

Where smoke will linger.

Thanks Jim- that's funny. We *do* get scolded when we use mowers and blowers on Spare the Air days.

I don't see smoke on shifts, at quick WOT sprints or even loaded with 1/2 yard of gravel last week when I was using the engine to brake on the hills towards home.

But now that you mention it, I'll be paying closer attention. I don't use much oil between changes at a 3k OCI. What little that goes seems to be about equal to what I catch out of my timing cover. That's an upcoming project when I don't need to be anywhere for a day or two and I'll be checking in for advice prior.
