When I start my car a puff of smoke comes out. AFter that the car is normal no smoke what so ever. I asked around and some people say is bad valve stem seals? can any one confirm that or know of any other problem it could be. And also if it is the seals how much would I expect to pay for a shop to fix it for me. thanks

I have the same problem. I bought some STP stop leak and used it wiht my last oil change. You have to put it in before the oil then let the car run for 15 mins after the change. So far I haven't had any smoke. that was 1K ago
