Mitsubishi Repair: L200 blue smoke, steep roads, level roads


Question
I have a 2005 L200 animal 2.5L turbo, it lets out blue smoke only when driving up steep roads in gears 2,3,4.
Could this be a turbo problem, or PCV problem, i dont get it when starting or normal driving on level roads or down steep roads.
Hope you can help me with this problem

Answer
Mark: If the only time you see this blue smoke is when you are working the engine for now that is good. But it will only get worse, as this is a sign that the rings are getting bad in the engine and letting oil by; then it is blew out of the exhaust. You need to be keeping an eye on the amount of oil the car usings. But also you need to get your car into a shop, if it only does it when driving up steep roads, then the damage is early and it might not cost you so much to fix it. Other wise, you might think about trading the car off. But still I would have it checked out at a shop and see what they tell you. Hope this helps and God bless: Linda
