Default Post PCV op

I re-did my PCV system probably about a month ago, and everything checked out. However, I still get some smoke sometimes coming out of my dipstick tube. Could this just be blow by seeing as how it's a high mileage engine, or maybe just residule stuff that's burning up now that everything is/should be working properly? Or is there another cause for a smoky dip tube.

it's not bad, I have to take the dip stick out to see it, and if you really look at it and get up close like your going to kiss it, then it looks like a lot, but if you just stand there and look at it, it's not really noticeable.
