Default Why would smoke be in my valve cover?

I have noticed a few times after running my car that when i remove my oil cap there is a little smoke in the valve cover.

I guess this is a sighn of some kind of internal problem. Not sure thought. Any ideas?

my car has pretty low miles and no problems. a small bit of smoke is normal, but a lot is a sign on blowby. which at the very least is a new set of rings and a good hone. could be worse though
