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

VERY COMMON PROBLEM.... my 1994 celica st with the 1.8L has the same problem. The valve guide seals go very easily and have to be changed. My bro and i are about to do it in my car. They arent hard to change just time consuming and i wouldn't recommend a first time wrench to do it yourself.
