Default Small puff of blue smoke?

This is my 2005 camry on a cold start.


Small puff of smoke, a little blue, should I be worried? Valve seals?

Could be worn seals. If seals the smoke tends to increase with mileage and age of car.

Also check PCV valve and hose system for plugging.

Have someone drive behind the car when you accelerate hard and notice if blue smoke is coming out, if so could be a piston ring issue. Monitor oil consumption as on this model it can become very large.
