There has been some smoke coming out everytime i turn the car on or in the morning,,
the mechanic told me that one of all of my seals didnt worked,,, but he didn't told me what was the name of the seal,, i want to do it myself but i dont know what seals to change and how to clean the oil from the spark plugs so i can change them. any ideas? --------------------  |

Alright so I have bad valve stem seals too...and I'm not experienced in doing the fix myself so what am I looking at in cost? I am planning a rebuild in 30K just because I'm already at 173K and the "only issue I have" is smoke at start up. Is it worth doing the valve stem seals now or should I just rebuild or possibly swap in 30K (that's about 1 year of driving for me).
