my engine is doing somthing similar on my 90 gmc sierra all though when i checked my oil i found small beads of what looked like water based glue and beads of water on the dipstick.... i guess im courious if the coolent (im assuming which is leaking into the oil could slowly be leaking through an improperly seated spark plug....? i literally just bought this truck a week ago and am pissed at the guy who sold it to me for replacing the oil just before i looked at it and then lying about it. and mad at myself for beleiving him
 
but basically being mad wont do the truck any good... so i also wanna know is running the engine to trouble shoot going to cause me a more problems than sitting it untill i get a diagnostics?

the reason i mention the oil, however it may be leaking in, if it is even doing this, is because i noticed a slight tinge of blue to the white smoke this morning when i started it.... basically when the problem was first noticed as more than just a tiny cloud of white smoke that was hard to decipher from chilly morning exhaust
