    this is a common symptom where oil has gotten into cal bores after standing overnight. often where valve stem seals are worn and oil drains past these and open valves into cylinders.

    it then burns when we start up giving the blue smoke.. once burnt away we only get normal amount of oil being burnt. keep an eye on oil level.

    Not surprising. Toyotas suck.
