I have a little blue smoke coming from my left side exhaust when i decelerate. I replaced the valve guide seals and the car has only 83,000 original miles. and runs great!

Coming from the engine or exhuast?

This happened to me when a valve cover wasn't tight enough.

Did it smoke before you replaced the seals???? If yes then you may have worn out or bound up oil rings, if no then you may have usd the wrong valve stem seals................Dan
