Default Initial start up

After an almost 4 month Winter nap, I had it in the other garage safe and sound covered up with a battery tender on it. I pulled the cover back checked the oil and started it up. No problems other than a low tire but once it started to get up to temp there was a little smoke from the drivers side of the motor, like the valve cover seeped some oil or something. I wanted all the fluids to come up to temp before driving it, never did go for a ride but did let warm up good so she can drive when she wants too.

My question, I am hoping that whatever the oil smoke was it will go away once it has been driven a while and all systems are hot. Is this normal after a car sets like that. We are new owners getting the car late Fall and only getting a few hundred miles before Winter hit. I know this is a dumb question but one that had to be asked....
TIA

Joe
