My engine leaks oil from the engine case and burns off and smokes badly. I've been told that the valve cover gasket needs replaced and it sounds like about $300-$400 job. I've read all over the net about people having the same issues with Toyota Avalons around this year. The oil builds up like SLUDGE as it's referred to allover the valve seal crevice that runs horizontal along the engine block. I check the oil very often and it does not go leak a whole lot but the burning off starts as soon as the engine has barely warmed up and smokes into the car and will asphyxiate you if you don't open a window. I hope that Toyota will eventually recall or fix this problem.
