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

My '95 ST did the same thing when I first got it. My dad said that valves on older engines can lose some of their seal causing some oil to drip into the cylinders after you shut the car off, which burns upon starting the car. I started adding restore to the oil with every oil change and I haven't noticed any problems since.
