What is your question?
When we start the car there is light gray smoke coming from the tail pipe. Can you think of anything that would cause this. We do not burn oil. The mechanic thinks it might be a valve proplem. Thanks

Does the smoke clear up after a minute or so? If it does than it most likely is a valve guide seal or 2 or 3 leaking oil down the valve when the car is shut down. this is not a problem just an annoyance. My mothers 02 Camry has done that for the last 30k miles with no ill effects of oil consumption problem. At the most it burns maybe 1 teaspoon oil at each cold start.
thank you, it was helpful
