Sounds more like a valve stem seal to me... The smoke on startup after being sat overnight is caused by a very small weap in one of the seals, allowing oil to dribble into one of the cylinders overnight which must then be burnt off on startup hence the smoke. As your car has been stood for a month the seals will have hardened slightly and so will not have been sealing as well. This will cause the clouds of smoke you were seeing especially as one of the seals was already going. After a time the seals (not always) soften up again as they are warmed up...
