Default blow smoke??

well my cars bin in storage for about 2 years and i take it out every couple months and start it up time to time. but the last time i took it out my buddys were behind me and said it blew blue smoke when i take off from a stop light not hard on it at all.. or when i open her up also blew blue.. could my valve seals be dried up and cracked already?? or is it just oil from sittin i need to burn off?? the car has 36,000 miles on it. thanx for any help

put a few miles on it like 500 or so and see if it still does it.i wouldnt worry to much if it has been sitting that long,as long as you did all the proper steps involved with storing a car for extended periods like that.
