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?

i changed the oil like 2000 miles ago so yea i figured it could use a little more. I check the amount tho and the stick showed that the oil is exactly in the middle between the high and low lines. How much does it cost to repair piston rings?
