Its a 1998 toyota corolla. 5 speed. (its been in at least two accidents, heavy damage to the passangers side.). When I baught the car,(with all the dents). I was getting 21 miles to the gallon. Now its down 10miles to the gallon. I have replaced the plugs and wires, the rotor and cap. The air cleaner. I even tried Carberator cleaner.
I also have smoke comming from under my hood, Its been cold and theres a exhaust leak under there somewhere. The smoke is light blue from what I can tell. Its been since December, 45 miles a day @ 55mph. However, the oil is still FULL, and so is the radiator fluid, As the car starts out when its cold, it sputters, untill I hit the high RPM's then its smooth.. (also leaves a trail of light blue smoke going down the road untill it gets warm..).. Any Ideas?

There's a class-action lawsuit that was recently settled, for oil-slude destroying some I-4 and V-6 engines in Toyotas, the link below will give you the basics. But it sounds like thats the beginning of the issue, specifically the blue smoke.

it sound like your horse needs some love or its going to quit on you . firstly the exhaust leak on a ob2 vehicle could set the check engine light depending on location of leak and cause car to run in a richer air fuel ratio .. also the timing chain Toyota's are head gasket cases and will leak oil sounds like you have an internal oil leak in combustion chamber causing it to smoke .. your gas mileage should be 27-31 mpg with a 5sp trans
