Default engine smoke

I have a 95 Integra LS, just got the car so not sure alot about the history and such. Looked at the car, appears to be fine before I bought it. Got it home, was messing around with stuff like brake, filters, all that. Started the car up, the car started smoking a grayish color. Seems to be coming from the dip stick hole. Not sure of any other spots it coming out of. ANY ideas of the problem, and any suggestions for diagnosis and/or solution would be great. Thanks in advance.

Dip stick hole? Sure you didn't spill any oil on the manifold?

If the dipstick is in it could be residue from when he cleaned the engine b4 he sold it...if he cleaned it, heh.

took the heat shield off just in case it was residual, dip stick is all the way in. Just changed oil, have 4 quarts of honda 10W30. Smokes only a little whiling idling, then more when it hits about 2500 to 3000 rpms. It hasn't been running for a while though. I heard car smoke somewhat if it hasn't been running for over a month or so. Have I heard wrong?
