It may be just left over oil on the block .. I would clean it or take it for a nice long ride and then check it out after.

Hope its all ok !!

Need to drive it way longer than that have you personally seen the build up it can cause over so much time

^ hmmm , if there would be a lot of oil build up im pretty sure the more i drive it or have the car on would diminish the amount of white smoke that is coming out. Yet the amount is constant .."not too much" but it's still there you knoww.
