Will do...... Noticed a bit of light blue smoke at start up also - We may have to move our build date up a bit.... LOL

Vinnie - I was supposed to keep it running when I check, right ?

I use about a quart every 1000 miles. I think my valve seals are ready to be replaced, if I let my car idle for a few minutes I get a puff of blew smoke when I restart or drive off.
