Could be a leaky piston ring or head gasket. If it's just a little, I don't think you need to be terribly concerned, but if it becomes constant (while you are driving or idling) then you want to get it looked at.

My old celica did this. 1+ for valve seals.
Fix: add some atf into your crankcase ~200 miles before you change your oil. I did this 2-3 times and problem went away. Car has been fine for almost a year now. |
