How many Camry's have you seen that were sludged? Personally I have seen more than a hundred. This is what happens to them when the valve stem seals start seeping due to gel build up. I have seen very few Camry's that have had leaking head gaskets. The "white smoke" emitted from the tailpipe at start up is a pretty good sign of this. As I stated before it would be a good idea in my professional opinion to check and make sure it is not gelled.
