Blue just means that oil was in the cylinders. I'd definitely try the cleaner stuff first.

Otherwise, you're looking at seals and o-rings.

hey!!! Sorry.. I got your messages, but didnt want to jump the gun and post anything.. I now HAVE MY TRUCK! and am driving it.. I just got it back for this weekend.. Now, the good news, It shifts great!!! The bad news, I think the mechanic doesn't know enough about cars to be a mechanic.. It does some weird stuff..
Number one, the oil pressure will bottom out occassionally, could just be the sending unit goin bad.. but, I digress... It also makes a rattling noise in the motor still, I am not sure, I think it could be the timing chain is loose, or could be maybe a valve rattle.. hard to tell really... I am not enough of a mechainc to tell either... But it's running, and driving... so I couldn't be happier on that note... Thanks for thinking about me guys!! And now, where we meeting for lunch? hehehehe Your buyin right?
