I woundnt worry about it to much if it was something major it would get worse day by day top the oil off and check it in a week or two.

Does it look like this? Skip ahead to about 4:05 to see it smoke.

mine does the same thing. let idol a while then hit the gas and it puffs smoke for a couple of seconds. it's the valve seals. cant complain tho, got 365000 thousand miles on it.

yup,valve seals. replacing the heads will do the same but cost more. i will agree that the guides are probably worn and heads will be necessary some day. cost very little for seals. of coarse if these new engines don't have seals anymore then i guess i'm wrong.
