i bought 99 firefly 1-2 years ago had a bad valve so it was letting oil passed so little blue smoke when it started up now it seems like everytime i start it up from sitting for 1-2 mins it smokes too is it possible that it will get worst? and should i do head job or rebuild? not sure compression numbers haven't done test yet car only has 160K on it everything runs perfect! after fixing the oil leak i dont think it uses oil with the leak i went down like 1 cm that was 2k km

Needs valve seals, they can be done without taking the head off. Check your compression and take a decision from there whether to rebuild or just put seals on it.
