I tapped the throttle and a huge puff of blue smoke filled my surroundings. Did it a couple of times more and same thing. Smoke seems to go away or isn't noticeable while driving but after extended idle it is there and it's definitely OIL.

So what gives? Apparently the dealer replaced my valve guide seals?
How much oil is it burning? A n63 with shot valve seals will eat a quart every 750 miles or so. Have you had to add any since the repair/what's the status of the oil gauge?
