I do understand what the different colors of smoke imply. The tint of the smoke appears blue but is such a small amount and disappears so quickly, I haven't been absolutely sure. That is why I wanted to smell what comes out. Oil definitely gives a distinct odor different from fuel. I've been around cars and engines all my life; believe me my father has rebuilt a many a one.

Unfortunately, when I started my truck up this afternoon, nothing. My friend started up his 350 Z after sitting all week, and nothing as well. It would figure.

At any rate, if anyone has brought this to their dealer's attention, please let me/us know about their response.
