i have a 1995 Celica 1.8ST. It's been losing lots of oil lately but can't seem to find any oil leaks. No black or blue smoke from the exhaust either. So not sure where the oil was going. Yesterday, I found out that when i rev the engine, the exhaust pipe spits out a mixture of oil and water. It's left stains on my drive so i know that it's oily. Not sure where to start from now. Please help

According to Toyota the car will use oil by burning off the water in it during long drives. I was driving a 60mile trip alot last year and they told me the oil usage that was showing was due to that. During regular everyday driving the oil has time to cool down between trips and the liquid content condeses and mixes back with the oil. They showed me a service bulliten for the 5s on that.
