That or your CCV's are leaking oil, but you said you inspected those I believe in a different post a while back??? Maybe I am wrong.

Yes the smoke is there after idling. But it's different in color. At startup it's definitely bluish. At idle after a few minutes (and with the engine hot), giving that quick throttle, it looks almost like water vapor, and it's very brief. Not the bluish or dark color. Maybe a tinge of grey.
Yes, I inspected the valve seals, and they looked OK to me. They were soft and pliable, had some dark oil stains, the passenger side had a smidge of crud build up at the bottom around the round corners, nothing major. Cleaned it and placed it back.
