Default 1jz smokes at idle

Heres my problem. After driving the car, if I park or sit at idle whiteish smoke comes from the tailpipe. The car isnt burning or leaking oil. The car idles fine.
Other than this the engine seems to be in great order.
Ive only had the car a little over a month and am not too familiar with these engines. Could it be the valve seals or turbo seals?
Thanks anyone that can help.

Sounds like your turbo's oil seals are starting to go. I'd imagine that happening sooner than a valve seal.
