I don't think so, operating temp. and how long you drove the car sometimes has something to do with it. I would check out the PCV valve or ventalation system make sure it's not sucking it up from the pan. Also, if you have power brakes sometime the booster will leak and suck some brake fluid into the intake causing some smoke, but you your brake fluid level should be dropping do to the lose fluid. A little smoke ocassionly is really hard to track down. But the most obvious is what fluids are being used up. So, if you engine is using a quart of oil every 500 miles. Then you'll have to figure if it's leaking past the top end or the bottom end. A compression check/leak down check should eliminate the bottom end.
