I have recently been noticing an increase in the amount of exhaust smoke that comes from my celica at least when I start her up. Its like a gray/lite blue tint. Could this be an early warning sign of some upcoming problems?

has something to do with worn valve seals or something. can't remember exactly what my mechanic said. It is just a bit of oil burning. Use a higher weight oil and it should go away. don't think it is anything to really worry about.
