Exclamation Light smoke?

I have some light white smoke coming from my breather tube on my valve cover & my dipstick when I pull the stick. I just recently did some work on this Jeep, none of which was to the motor. I added some seafoman to the old oil then added Rotella T & a new Napa Gold oil filter. I still have the light smoke coming for those spots, but, not noticeably from the tailpipe.

The XJ sat for a few years without being driven much @ all before I bought it. I also ran some seafoam through the the gas but that gas has most likely cycled through. I've still not run the motor for more than maybe 15 minutes max.

Is this a problem or is it normal? I am an amateur @ best so be kind.

Hot oil vapor, don't worry about it. That's what the breather is there for.
