Valve Stem Seals= Smoke on Cold start?

90k, on a 1999. Should I have done these stem seals with the T belt?

Our A8s will puff smoke if you run them for a short time, turn them off, and then on again. Normal.

Wow, that's the last time I move the A8 for anyone! I normally always let her warm up out of habit, now I know why

You hit it on the head. If I move it from 1 driveway to the other ...

(I have 2) then it'll puff blue the next time it gets started.
