1995 850 blowing blue smoke

Post by Ladley »

My 95 850 glt seems to be losing about a qt of oil every two weeks and is smoking from the exhaust pipe. Seems to be worse when I've been in stop and go traffic and oil has run low. someone mentioned it could be the O rings. Does this make sense and is it a major job? Also, is it harmful to drive with this condition.
