I have a 2001 Hyundai Accent 1.5 liter. I recently noticed that after idling between 5-10 minutes, there is noticeable blue smoke from the exhaust, when I step on the throttle. The engine does not smoke at all during normal driving, and only smokes after the long period of idling. The engine has relatively high mileage, about 155,000 miles give or take, but idles smooth, and has great driveablilty. There does appear to be quite a bit of blow by when idling, when I removed the oil cap. I did not notice a PCV valve during my quick look, there are however two hoses running from the valve cover to the plenum on the intake manifold, and the throttle body respectively. Anyone familiar with Hyundais have the same problem?
