valve stem oil seals usually give the blue smoke on start up, also prob the easiest and cheapest repair too

Yeah blue on startup is generally Valve stem seals, white could just be condensation in the exhaust.

Valve stems mate.

Its a 30 min job.

You need a CVH valve stem tool (£7.20 from Burton power)
Set of valve stems (about £10)
rocker cover gasket (about £3-5)
A 19mm ring spanner
A 13mm socket
If you have a small magnet this can help with removal and refitting of the collets.

Very very simple job. If you need pics i can link you to my rs16i engine build i did a few months back.
