As most of you know, I have a new engine with about 1700 miles. The car is driven pretty much only on weekends (insurance and Seattle stop and go traffic dictate my driving habits) and when the car has sat all week and is started, I am still getting nice blue cloud of oil. I know the engineering dictates some oil will still leak down into the cylinders, but I am a little concerned at the amount. After a complete rebuild, I anticipated a little smoke at start up but the cloud - when cold, has me alarmed. It this right, or after a few thousand miles will the rings seat better and decrease the smoke? As an aside, when the car is warmed up, the amount of smoke coming out is negligible.

Thanks, Rick
