Blue Smoke from Tailpipe

Car will and only smokes after long idles then take off. It'll continue to smoke as I travel and goes away.
Car was found with a cracked breather hose and seized PCV valve. Valve cover and hose were replaced,
intake taken off and drained. Smoke tested the turbo and other hoses, leak tested the cylinders, everything
passes according to my technician.

Car smoked this morning after a 10 minute idle test. It could be residue in the exhaust burning off after it
warms up but it was a decent sized puff to think otherwise. What else could be the problem? Am I looking
at valve seals/guides?
