    Default Camry blowing copious amounts of smoke

    Hey all, got a run about not long back, its 98 camry V6, all of a sudden one day, it started blowing heaps of smoke on start up, at first all will say valve stem seals, but i cant pin it down.

    i havent been able to work out why yet.

    if i get to work and leave it for 3 hours and go to the shops, it can blow BULLSHIT amounts, or none, or if i leave it 6/9/12/24 hours it sometime will and sometimes wont

    I was of the impression that VSS were either fucked or not, this car seems to be like a tempermantal little fucking kid with ADD, like it just wants some attention.

    any ideas??

    cant remember the brand, was a basic name-brand, valvoline i am thinking, 20-50

    has been a bit, but not AGES, probably 5000k overdue

    as a suggestion by some wynns oil flush and some penrite hpr30 see if that helps and use either a genuine filter or ryco filter.

    could be something silly like an oil surge problem.

    Intake is not sucking brake fluid out of the brake booster?
