Valve stem seal is worn out. If smoke is continous get ready for another engine

I noticed once that the plugs were soaked in engine oil. Can the worn out valve stem seal be the cause for this too.

mayor2013:
Smoke can be only in 3 colours. White, black and whitish blue

On second check I think it is a whitish blue smoke. But it stops when the car is fully warm.

mayor2013:
What colour is the smoke? You need to be specific. If blue and comes out only in the morning and stops after some few seconds then we looking at a bad valve stem seal .if white then we looking at perhaps an overheating issue which led to a cracked cylinder head. So be much more specific so as to guide you accordingly

Thanks a lot Bro you have been of tremendous help. I can't place the color of th smoke may be I can make another video of the smoke and upload.

The leak comes out from an opening on top of the radiator. Then kazeem glued the opening shot.

"Jerks to one side" What do you mean by that?

It means while I am driving I can feel the steering nodding to the left.

I have not serviced or cleaned throttle body before ooh.

No overheating issue at all. It used to leak coolant before. But that has reduced now.
After cold start the smoke stops.

Car: Toyota Avensis 2005. Manual drive.
Smoke only when engine is cold.
Smoke is probably white. I uploaded the video to show the color.

Please, help a brother. what are the possible causes of that kind of white cold morning smoke.

Huh OK. Can someone please tell me possible things that I can have checked.
I don't think driving the car to ogba or gbagada is the way to learn about my car.

Sango Ota, please kindly tell me, what should I check.

1. My Car smokes when starting cold what should I check?
2. When Idling my car's tachometer fluctuates up and down. When starting cold it can suddenly be high or low. When driving once the car is in neutral the tachometer fluctuates what should I check.

My Car is a Toyota Avensis 2004. Manual ride. What I noticed this morning is the stiffness of the steering and empty steering fluid.

My car steering consistently jerks to the left side. Even at low speed. What should I check?
Experts please advise?
