Depending on mileage and how well maintenenced the vehicle is, the valve seals within the cylinder heads can get worn out. When they wear out you can get smoke from your initial start up. If it is a persistant smoke then most likely it's the piston rings that are worn out.

What could blue tailpipe smoke be from?

Your issue could be a few things. Simplest first would be the PVC valve. Other issue would be valve seals, valve guides or piton rings. The blue smoke is from your vehicle burning oil

Toyota Caldina 1999, too smoke from exhaust

if it is diesel and you have black smoke you need fuel injectors either serviced or replaced also you must check the engine valves clearance. If your smoke is blue white smelling unburned fuel renew injectors.If it is blue white smelling oil and diesel then you will have piston rings and valve steam seals.

Hi my estima is making a ticking noise when driving especially when slowing down or at stand still also the exhaust is rattling.i had a new one put on eleven mths ago.im going get checked but wondering...

I would suggest getting the areas between the cylinder head and the exhaust manifold checked for leaks. Your description sounds like a classic beginnings of an exhaust manifold gasket leak.
