Pull your sparkplugs out and check for plugs soaked with oil.If you find any wet with oil then you have worn valve seals or valve guides my guess would be valve seals.

My 1985 corvette smokes out the exaust only when at idle and engine at running temperature.

most likely worn valve guides and probably dry cracked and fallen off valve stem seals you may get lucky with just replacing valve stem seals but may need guides installed in heads

Excesive oil consumption on ford focus 3 liters of oil in under 500 miles

Smoking on overrun is generally (almost always) worn valve guides. But a car with worn valve guides @ low mileage is odd. You might try a little heavier weight oil and maybe a switch to mineral oil rather than synthetic just to see if you can change the behavior. Don't worry about mixing the types, that's OK.

There is a test for worn valve guides. Hooking up a vacuum gauge to an unmetered vacuum source (after the throttle body), the gauge will show an oscillation of about 4 inches of vacuum (at idle). 15 inches is considered normal so from an oscillation 12 to 17 would indicate worn guides.

Good luck on your mission.
