Oil smoke when I start the engine ........ Options

[carma4]

I have a '94 GT hatchback with almost 150K miles on it and all original factory everything and the oil is changed every 6K miles. It's my 3rd Celica.

With so many knowledgable Celica owners I'm hoping to find an answer to this question. Why does it blow out some oil smoke when I first start it up? My last Celica was an '89 ST hatchback and did the same thing as it got some miles on it.

Is this something that's unique to the Celica? Could it be caused by the way I drive (intense)? Are the inner workings of my engine just gettin' old? Should I be planning on replacing something that's probably about to die? Let me know if you have an ideas about what is causing this. Thanks.

thanks. ive cleared my oil burning issue up with some auto trans fluid. i add about 1/2 of a quart about 100 miles before each oil change. additionally i sucked some atf through a vac port on the intake manifold and let it sit in the manifold and chambers over night. i noticed those 2 things combined with my switch to mobil synthetic or mobil synthetic blend has almost completely eliminated any oil burning, it may be 100% gone for now. after sitting for several days i get NO smoke on startup, the only time i see what could be oil smoke is after its been shutdown and then restarted when its warm, but i think thats just condensation getting blown out since its more gray/white and doesnt smell of oil at all.
