doesnt sound like anything is wrong to me. Its coming from the tailpipe correct? not the engine i hope? If it is the tailpipe its nothing wrong, the car just burns a little oil.

Its coming from the exhaust pipe. I am going to try and track down the leaks of my engine. I think I need to replace the valve cover gasket and some other gaskets around that area. I would just like to get rid of this little smoke problem.

Valve cover gasket lets oil to the engine bay not to the cylinders. If you get the cloud of smoke when you start your car after it has been off all night you could blame valve guide seals.
Othervise you get rid of that smoke with engine rebuild. At least change piston rings.

After my rebuild I have no oil consuption at all. I have attended two track days still no oil consumption.

I just get smoke under WOT at high rpm's. So Maybe it is the rings.
