my 89 v6 seems to be a little smokey when she idles or left running for a while.

Q: why
any help appreciated

p.s. she doesnt smoke whilst driving and she seems to drive well etc she's been serviced at mitso last week and yeah what might be the reason cause i dunno.

cheers

sounds like valve stem seals to me. not a huge issue just a little embarassing at times. fairly easy to fix as well

it's a common problem with the 3.0 v6 your looking at about $650 to get it fixed at a dealer.
