    I have owned 3 Tacoma's in the past but never a used one til now. I needed a daily driver and I was amazed that even at 110k miles the blue book value was where it is?! crazy.

    So, long story short, I bought a used Tacoma (08' with 115k miles on it); now of course I noticed that when I start her up, she blows a little blue smoke.

    Any ideas as to what it is and what I can do to fix it?

    Thanks,
    David

    This could be it. Even if it is, it's not a big problem. It'll just smoke a little on start up.
