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?

Piston rings and valve seals are different. Valvle seals are seals tha is placed over the valve stem to prevent oil leakage between the stem and the guide, and piston rings are split rings installed in a groove in the piston that seals the compression chamber from the crankcase. I guess your best bet would be to change valve seals first and if that doesn't work, then go for the piston rings. Come to think of it, if you're NOT burning too much oil, but have blue smoke, it probably is the valve seals. Good luck with getting it fixed
