13 1.8 sonic blue smoke and burns oil

[Bchana916]

139,000 miles, no turbo, well maintained. Today it lost power for a few seconds and blue smoke came out the tail pipe. I’ve noticed I’m burning oil more than normal for the miles. No codes and it acts like nothing happened, seems to be running fine. But I know there’s something else going on, has anyone had these symptoms? Where do I start troubleshooting?

Sounds like you have blowby causing oil consumption.

Any ideas on fixing or where to start?

Ever find out anything? Very similar thing happening to my fiancé's 2013.

Get a compression test done...sounds like a oil compression ring gave up...usually there isnt a code until the primary catalytic converter plugs up. Catch it now before you have to shell out $500 for a new catalytic converter.

I changed the pvc or pcv valve and everything good now, what’s it doing?
