Larry,
Our car does the same smoke show which I  attribute to the synthetic  
oil getting by the valve guides (sneaky stuff) but do not have that  
type of oil usage.  Are you using synthetic or fossil based oil?

On startup there is an initial puff of smoke. On all shifts up/down  
there is a small puff only noticeable to the car behind me. This  
sounds like a guide/valve seal problem and has been going on for some  
time.  No smoke at any other time.
