First post: sorry if I'm not following convention. I've had my 2002 Sienna since '05. Currently has 225k miles. Has been losing oil for a few years; I've just been keeping it topped off. Recently had problem with some knocking, and what turned out to be (likely) water pump bearing noise...

So I'm hoping it's not dead for real but last night the engine died and the car just turned off while I was turning onto a side street. Car is at like 188K miles and has recently gotten an oil change and replaced air filter. A small amount of smoke was coming from the hood as well. Smelled...

I have a 2008 Sienna with 117,000 miles and when I am driving down the highway, I get occasional big puffs of white smoke. I don't feel any loss of power, and when I let off the gas the smoke goes away and vehicle runs fine and no smoke when I resume. Then, 25 miles later a big puff of white...

Has anybody added an oil catch reservoir (see attached pic) to their 1st generation Sienna? Mine puts out a pretty big cloud at startup, but not all the time and I was wondering if one might help.

I had a few posts before regarding the problem on my van. I also post the below on Toyotanation.com and hope to get some suggestions. 2002 Sienna with 115K, moderate sludge. Issue: tons of white smoke when idle, haven't tried to drive it. I did a compression test and all 6 cylinders are...

Our Sienna is 2002 with 117,000 miles. It has been burning oil for years especially on highway but we never saw blue smoke when driving or at cold start. Got P1354 and low oil pressure about a year ago. I changed timing belt, water pump, oil pump, all 6 spark plugs, OCV filter and gasket of the...

I've had a problem with our 08 Sienna van for months now. Not every time but at least every 2-3 time when starting it blows out an embarrising cloud of white smoke. Mainly after sitting over night or after longer periods of time with out running. It goes away in about 5-10 seconds and the van...

I recently purchased a Sienna LE, 158,000 miles, which had not been sitting for over 6 months. When changing the front plugs (didn't do back ones yet) I noticed number 6 plug had black gluey stuff on it. Got the van started, however, there is so much smoke and unbearable fuel smell in the...

I know there is an older post on this topic, so I wanted to give it a refresher in case no one is following the oldie. My 2004, 97,000 miles, Sienna emits white smoke at start up in the morning ONLY. Throughout the rest of the day, it's fine. A toyota master tech said it was the valve...

We have an 08 Sienna, 36K miles, blue smoke comes out on a cold startup, what might I check to fix this ? Thanks

I'm working on a 2013 Sienna with hardly any miles on it. It took a pretty bad hit in the left frame rail(front section was replaced). The radiator, AC condenser, and core support have all been replaced. Car ran fine before work was done. When I hooked everything back up, car struggled to...

hey guys and gals, I want to post a question after taking the van to 2 separate dealers who could not replicate the issue and therefore could not diagnose and fix it. this is what happens: after driving on the highway for about 40 kms at highway speeds (100 to 110 kph). when I stop (e.g. at a...

Hello everyone, We have an 04 LE FWD with 92,000 miles on it. Recently I've noticed a small puff of white smoke on start ups in the morning which definitely smells like oil. We are running 5W-20 full synthetic since 80,000 miles and also a K&N filter. My thoughts are the valve stem seals may...

My Sienna will blow out a light amount of white smoke about a minute after morning start up, gone pretty quick once driving begins. I did however notice my wife leaving the other morning and when she hit the gas to leave a puff of white came out but gone after that. Is this normal?

Hello all! First time post for me. Love this board, tons of good info here. I have a '03 Sienna CE with 74k, loaded up the family yesterday to go to Grandma's house for Christmas, turned the key, and heard a very strange sounding starter noise. Sounded like the motor was having a hard time...

We have about 80,000 on our '04 Sienna. I have noticed lately that we are blowing smoke on start up. Any idea what its from? Should a switch to a heavier weight oil? PCV valve?? Any other ideas??
