It is normal to have white-blue smoke on start up as long as it stops in 1-2 seconds.
If you have huge plumes of white smoke when driving, then the air-oil separator is bad. It will look like a James Bond smoke screen for a few moments and then clear up and be fine. Then later this will happen again without being related to anything. If you ignore it, it will occur more frequently as the engine burns oil that should have been recycled back into the engine. The engine will continue to run fine.
I'd top up the oil level and drive it. Keep an eye on the symptoms listed above while keeping an eye on the oil level and proceed according to what you find.

Thanks. I think you hit it on the head, everyone else seems to lean that way as well. I plan on dong just that this weekend. Hopefully that will determine the culprit (AOS).
