Engine oil leakage on the exhaust. Valve cover gaskets are the most probable cause.

A thorough engine degreasing followed by inspections for leakage is in order.


Oil leaks should be fixed. Cars HAVE burned to the ground because of fires caused by oil
burning on the exhaust pipes or catalytic converter, including Camrys.

if you can't figure out where the smoke is coming from you should probably have the car looked at by a mechanic.

Way to early to condem the engine. Do some checks or have a mechanic look at it.
