Default Blowing blue smoke.....

Hey

I drive a 93 Honda accord 2.2 sedan.
We are having staring issues with it so we have been trying to figure that out but now it's blowing blue smoke. Don't have a clue on why or where to start.

Please help this car is what I drive every night for work.

Blue smoke coming out of the exhaust would mean that the engine is burning oil

I would try a compression test on each of the cylinders.

The usual suspects:
blue smoke = oil (usually rings)
white smoke = radiator fluid (head gasket)
black smoke = excess fuel (too rich, seldom now w/ FI)
