It's been about 10 years since tha last time I've replaced glow plugs. I think the subject of cold startups with a bit of smoke has was already discussed.
Well, instead of white or black smoke on startup, it smoked a bit blue for a few seconds if not plugged in. When I removed all 4 glow plugs, the #2 had a little bit of oil at the tip and the base. The truck has 197,000km.

Question, should I worry about it or just forget about. It doesn't burn any oil at all and no power issues also.

Thank you,
Alex
