bfd62277 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, just looking for some good advice... I have a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT, 116k miles, bought used 2 years ago. Problem: There is blue smoke coming through the A/C vents and also out from under the hood of the engine compartment - ONLY when the A/C is running. This problem seems to be worse in the morning. The smoke can be significant enough that passersby will comment that I am burning oil. I know it's not oil because burnt oil smells like, well, burnt oil. Background: Along with this issue I recently had problems overheating. I took the car to my local shop and after running diagnostics they replaced the radiator and the thermostat. No more overheating, but blue smoke remains. I recently had the serpentine belts replaced as well. Any ideas on what could be the cause of the blue smoke?? Thanks Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbtech Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 You say it doesn't smell like oil so can you describe the smell? When you say "only when the A/C is running", do you mean the A/C compressor or whenever you have air coming through the vents? Does it do it if you press the A/C button to turn off the A/C but still leave the fan on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
