Valve stem seals. This is what I was told when I had the same problem on an IROC I had in college: When the stem seals start to go, they allow oil to pass and drip on hte piston. Not a major amount, but it pools on the top of the piston. when you fire the motor up, it burns the tiny amount of oil, and you get that start up smoke. Mine was white also. I bought the umbrella seals at Autozone for like 50 cents a piece. At higher RPMs it should also pass smoke as your valves are moving quicker.
