Default Smokey start

Hi All,
New here. Let me say thanks in advance!! I have an 87 Civic. If you let is sit for a full day, it smokes blue smoke when it starts. It lasts for about 2 mins then fades away. Doesnt smoke when you are driving it, only on the start up. I have replaced the Intake and Exhaust valve seals, but not the Aux valve seals. Does anyone know if these seals ( if bad) will cause this type of behavior? Compression is at 150psi all across, no water in the oil, 145k. Any ideas would be appreciated!! Thanks again
