my vehicle has only 190 thou miles tons of power super clean BUT after idling about 5 min it begins to smoke oil lightly then about 10 min smoking pretty good so I take it out bout a quarter mile down the road and no smoke I turn around punch it and im at about 90 in a hundred yards i pull in the drive about 5 min later smokes back 8 min later lots of white smoke now i press the gas tons of white smoke for 1 min then decreases to none then i take it down the road again no smoke turn around come back very fast no problem back in the drive 5 min later light blue smoke again. NOW the thing is the car was bought yesterday it has sat in a heated garage for 4 years and a divorce later and 1 year outside. basically the vehicle has not been driven (but started and moved around slightly) for 5 years. underneath the oil pan gasket seems to leak slightly on rear corner. I changed oil to 10w40 and new filter and STP oil treatment. Trans fluid was about a quart low seems fine. I just want to figure out some diagnostic ideas other than my own.
