Home and Auto White Smoke Coming From Exhaust - Page 2

OK- looking for some help from the car guys around here.

I have a 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX. A friend was following me yesterday, and noticed that my car was putting out a small amount of blue/greyish smoke from the exhaust under hard acceleration. Today when I started it up. It was putting out a small amount of smoke while it was warming up. Once it warmed up the smoke stopped.

I know the car has a valve cover gasket leaking. And it smells like the car is running rich. Performance wise the car runs great. Turbo spools up just fine, and doesn't seem to have lost any power. Yesterday after around a hour and a half drive, I shut the car off, went inside the store, and when I came back out- the car was acting like it wanted to turn over but it wouldn't fire. Eventually it did start up.

Any input appreciated.
