ZF "D" popout &

[williamcharrison]

Hi all,
Just returned from an extended trip with my '90SP36 and (most) all
was satisfactory. Though I learn new things each trip I confess that
some things still puzzle me.
I used the dash headlamp control to flash a passing
truck that he was clear and the trans selector popped out of drive.
I thought I had inadvertently touched it but confirmed that if I cycled
the light switch it would always pop out.
Also, we were stationary for 6 days and when I started the engine
it blew blue oil smoke until the engine warmed up - is this normal?
There is also a lot of vapor coming out of the crankcase vent after
the engine warms up.
