Hello i have Nissan Altima 2002 2.5 and sometimes blue smoke comes out and sometimes its fine and the engine does not have any noise and i would like to know if this can be a simple fixing or a big problem a guy told me that probably the oxygen sensor needed to be changed but i don't know if that's true Thank You very much and i hope to hear soon from you

Really don't think an o2 sensor will solve your smoke problem. Blue smoke usually indicates that the engine is burning oil. This could be from piston rings, valve guide seals, or PCV system issues.
Check your spark plugs and see if you can tell which cylinder(s) is burning oil.

Just a heads up:
They thought is would be good to
have the catalyst attached to the exhaust manifold up close to the
engine because it would heat up the catalyst quicker. The downside of
that design is if the catalyst started coming apart, the exhaust
pulsation during valve overlap would suck the crap,which acts like
sandpaper, right up into the cylinders. The engine would eventually
burn excessive oil and even have low compression in some cases. I've
seen it happen on a 3.5L Pathfinder. Avoid the exhaust manifold baby
cats in my opinion if your looking for a car. If this is the case
with your vehicle, it needs an engine and cat.
