Burning Oil??? Need Help/Answers!!! Options

[Michelle95celica]

Hey guys, I just noticed that when I watch my car being started by a friend from the back, a little puff of bluish grey smoke comes out (it only happens on the first time, not after it heats up) and if you rev it a little bit comes out, then if you rev it again, the smoke is gone...am I burning a little bit of oil? I have a 2.2/auto in my '95 Celica GT, how would I go about fixing this? It only has 153,000 miles which I honestly don't think is too much, it should be running fine. Would an oil change help at all, with a can of "Restore" for 4cyl applications? It isn't doing it very much at all, just when you start it for the first time after it sits a couple days. It makes me think that it is oil being burned off or something, so should I get a new set of rings, get the cylinders honed and maybe some new pistons? How much should it cost to fix and is this a common problem? Please help!
Thanks!!
Michelle

haha, mine did the same thing when i first got it, but it only had 94k miles! now it has about 101k, but i never check to see if that one puff of smoke comes out. it def. means there's a bit of oil burning. after a while i noticed that the oil level was dropping little by little so i had to keep adding oil. got fed up with it and put half a quart of Lucas additive in the engine. oil level hasn't gone down since.

got a question, does that Restore stuff actually work? just sounds like alot of other additives and stuff that promise to do one thing or the other. but i know Lucas is good stuff so i'll stick to that for now.
