I'll assume this is blue smoke, in which case @ 130K your valve guides have
either led a Very hard life or your valve guide seals are spent.

FYI, letting the car idle to warm up is nothing but tough on the engine and
an utter waste of resources. The ICE is Very inefficient at idle.

What weight oil are you running?
