So, I'm not sure what caused it, but my exhaust is smokin white-bluish (pretty sure that it's burnt oil). It isn't noticeable at speed or WOT, but as soon as I touch the throttle (light or heavy) from an idle it will smoke heavily for about a second then stop or become unnoticeable. Driveabilty hasn't changed and nor can I hear any difference since the smoke, but I can see and smell the white/blue smoke. I think that it is coming from the passenger side cylinder bank because the smoke is primarily coming from the exhaust pipe closest to the front.
I talked to my tuner and he doesn't think that it is blow-by because he said it would pour smoke at WOT. I tried to stop or at least slow the smoke production by changing the engine oil from Mobil 1 syn. 5-30 to Castrol syn. 10-40...didn't do anything, so I added Lucas oil additive to the crankcase (supposed to heal seal the cylinders stopping blow-by) and a Lucas fuel additive (supposed to seat the valve seats that could be leaking). I'm going to pull the plugs tomorrow to see their condition and replace them.
What do you guys think it could be with these symptoms? (only smokes at initial throttle)
thanks again guys,

*BTW my PCV system is gone. Breathers are fitted onto the valve covers now
***Edit for pics/vids***
This is cylinder #3 and the dark one is #4
vid clip you can see when it smokes and when it doesn't (double click)
