My car is making huge blue clouds.
 
For the past three weeks my car has been making alot of blue smoke im thinking its oil. or gas. It happens when i start up it smokes alot but after about 10 min of warm up it stops and goes to normal. I have 92,000 miles, and turboxs racepipe. I been told my o ring maybe ne bad and allowing oil to leak in the rotary chamber. Any he;lp

first off this is in the whong section, second the omp weeps oil into the rotor housings for lubrication. if you didnt have oil in there you wouldnt have a running motor. these cars do run rich and smoke, a race pipe will make it more evident

No it is not normal ... you have some issues in your engine blue smoke = oil

Time for a rebuild. More than likely the oil control rings have worn out.
Which is not common for the Renesis. I would suggest getting your car to the dealer before your warranty runs out at 100,000 miles.

Yeah. Do this, because it sounds like you'll be needing a new engine.

How is the coolant level in the rad?

It's either oil or water leaking inside the housings. Most likely oil.
Have you got all your oil change receipts? In this case you're still eligible for a new engine under warranty (8yr\100000mi).
