Default 99 wrx smoking after revving down then accelerating?

Hi.. Have just got my car back and noticed that if i let the car rev down from about 3000rpm and then accelerate it chuffs out some blue smok. But on idle, and driving along and cold start it does not smoke? Other then the smoke it runs and srives beautiful. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Mike

blue smoke = burning oil

over-filled the oil?

If the oil is over-filled it would usually continuously blow blue smoke, but if you let it idle and stab the throttle it usually means valve stem seals. Possibly blow-by as well? Check your compression's!

If your compression's fail you can do a leak down test which will tell you if its from your rings or valves - lol just take it to a workshop!
