One of my Volvo's - the S70 1998 20valve. Has about 135K miles on it. It recently has started to intermittently blow some white smoke from the tailpipe. Actually not too sure if the smoke is white or blue - the windows are very tinted and they were up when I saw the smoke. A friend showed me the CSV valve (called something else by Volvo?) and said it could possibly be that valve being clogged and dumping some oil into the engine. This could be an easy fix he said - mainly some time on our part replacing the valve. The other option was much more dire - a blown or soon to be blown headgasket. Aargghh!

Anyone have any insight?

Thanks so much!
