I tapped the throttle and a huge puff of blue smoke filled my surroundings. Did it a couple of times more and same thing. Smoke seems to go away or isn't noticeable while driving but after extended idle it is there and it's definitely OIL.
So what gives? Apparently the dealer replaced my valve guide seals?

Simple solution
Don't do extended idle.
Its not good for any car. except diesels.
That is why they came up with Auto Stop/start in modern cars.
