My celica is burning a little oil and it only does it when I first start my car off (a little poof) and when I down shift or when I shift at High RPMs. I've been driving my car like an old lady latly to prevent it from getting worse so I need to know. Did I crack one of my piston rings? if so how can I get it checked and how much money would it cost?
Thanks, -Brandon --------------------  |

Its not a cracked ring it is most likely valve stem seals. They are notorious for going on 5SFE's. As far as a shop it might be pricy. I'd just make sure its filled with oil and keep driving it till it blows up(which shouldnt be soon).
