KA24DE?

If so my KA does the same thing, its most likely the Valve Stem Seals, in an SR? No idea on what generally gives out, could be rings, could be super minor HG problem, could be bad valve stem seals or valve guides. : /.

valve stem seals..had it on my jeep..bluish white

after about a minute of sitting and idling when hot..it did it..and puffed a little while driving

have to take apart the head to get to them..pretty easy on my jeep. have somebody else do it and it'll cost you an arm and a leg. theres a couple places on here and on the web to find articles on it
