    Using seafoam on BMW 750I 2006 for valve seal smoking problem

    My valve seals are leaking and when my car idles for a bit, a huge plume of smoke starts. I had read that using Seafoam in the oil tank will lubricate the seals and correct the problem at least for a while. Replacing the seals ranges from $2500-$5000. Any thoughts on the use of Seafoam in the oil reservoir and procedure in doing it? Thanks!

    Try using the 10w60 oil it may reduce the smoke
