Looks like it's just burning some oil....no big deal...

How much oil is it going thru?

1qt every 1k miles?

Either valve seals or rings....what the miles on the engine?

Check your plugs for some that are darker than the rest.

Also, if you suspect the PCV disconnect it & plug the vacuum off then take it for a ride then see if it smokes after that.
