Just wondering what seals are going bad, cause when i start my 7 when its cold out it smokes untill its warmed up!. Are the oil seals on the rotors going bad?. If so how long do you think i have before it starts to smoke all of the time?.

yep the oil control rings are going. who knows how long... if you dothe maint. like a good little boy it could last 2-3 years, if you dog **** out of it and never change the oil it could go in a day a week a month a year. who knows. order them from atkins they are better and cheaper than mazda. no is this on the 85 motor or the 83 i gave you?

its the 85, the oil is really contaminated with gas right now. do you think this could be the problem?. after i change the oil could the smoke go away?. When the engine is warmed up and sits for a while it wont smoke ONLY when first started cold!.

Does the car smoke everytime you start it up (when cold)?
Say you wake up in the morning--start it up, does it smoke? now wait couple of hours for it to cool off, then start up again, does it smoke again?

ok A (and you know this) change the oil. gas in the oil = thin oil. this might lead to it getting by the o rings but i wouldnt think so. the deal is the oil is seaping by after the engine sits for a long time......overnight.
