    On my every other day routine of letting my GP run for 10 minutes, I noticed either smoke or condesation coming from the exhaust. I'm assuming it was condensation because it didn't "hang" like smoke would, and I usually have a lot of condensation dripping from the muffler when I've got it running. What do you guys think? I think it's got too low of miles (56k) to have blow by or to be an oil burner yet.

    You'd notice the coolant level dropping if it was burning it.

    Oil would be a blue smoke.

    Condensation and water from the exhaust is normal.

    Thanks for the input. I'm eager to get it back on the road thursday (crossing my fingers the DMV isn't a pain with paper work this time) I hope there's many miles to put on it, considering I had to sell my pride and joy 97 Camry to make room for it, which had 236k miles and going strong.
