Typical valve seals. Nothing major to worry about - just keep an eye on your oil (as you should be anyway).

Re: smokin problem

easier to replace with heads off, but can be done with heads in the car - there are several threads on here on how with threads still in the car - search something like "valve seal replacement" and see what you find.
