Ok this is strange. While in stop and go traffic in FL I noticed the blue smoke from the tail pipe while sitting at stop lights. This was only 1200 miles after my induction cleaning, followed by an oil change. I was buring a quart of oil quickly at the low rpm level in about 200 miles. On my long ride back home, I put in some seafoam in the oil and ran it all the way home +1000 miles. I used half a bottle, burned that off, added some more 30w, at around 500miles into the trip I added the rest of the seafoam and havent had to add any more oil and the blue smoke is gone at low rpm. I get out now and then and check when the car is idling after just starting up and after several minutes of idling when the car is warmed up. Now did the induction cleaning remove some sludge or gunk that may have been keeping the stem seals from leaking and did my running of the seafoam on a long trip get enough oil back into them to keep them from leaking? My thottle response was sluggish after 750miles as I needed to get the RPM to 4k to get full power which makes me believe I just put back a ton of oil in the throttle body. However, after the final 300miles throttle response is back and the low rpm blue smoke is gone. Would thowing enough oil through the breather hoses into the intake actually help out those valve stem seals?

A semi-plugged oil breather can also cause oil to be sent into the intake and burn.

via the breather hoses?
