1993 Ford Probe GT mileage: 108,000.I've been noticing this for a long time and even asked local automotive repair shops with no success. When I reach a stop sign (downhill) everything is fine but when I start accelerating away the car smokes out the back, yet if I am at a level stop sign and accelerate it is fine. I also noticed when I take certain turns too fast and accelerate there is smoke. I have no idea what this is. HELP!

We have found similar problems with other cars approximately 60,000 or more miles. Replacing the valve stem seals reduces the oil use and smoke. They are made out of rubber and over time become hard and brittle and no longer seal.
