    I have 3 cylinders with low compression but not on the same bank would a belt cause it to drop on both banks the mechanic thinks if the belt slippped all the cylinders would be on one bank is that right.

I would suspect the belt again. You may want to pull the cover and check the marks on the gears. One of the cams could have jumped a few teeth.

    Not exactly. Generally the valves open on every other cylinder like the firing order. So it could be 1-2-3-4--5 for example. If the belt slipped on one cam gear that cam would be off by a couple of teeth but if it slipped on the crank both cams could be off. Valve timing is about the only thing I know of that would affect compression on both heads.

a cracked block or bad gasket can result in compression bleeding into your cooling jacket causing the symptom you describe. a good shop has a tester to determine if there is compression residue in your coolant. that would be a place to start.

Valve stem seals can cause this problem, but normally only when first started. Oil in the rocker cover seaps through the oil seals into the cylinders and is burnt up on start up.
Try a "STOP A LEAK" additive and it may reduce the oil consumption and smoke.
I found some on e-bay and it worked on my tired old escort. It even stopped the rattling tappets.

I have a 1997 Lexus ES 300 it smokes at start and when I excel

It sounds like the oil rings are worn, this means that when you park up at night the oil seeps through to the top of the piston causing it to ssmoke on start up... the only real cure is for the engine to be stripped down and new rings fitted...this isn't cheap keep talking to the dealership.. they should be able to get a pressure test done this will tell you if it is a ring or not.... hope this helps
