Smoke at start up

Have a 06 5.4 f-150, at start up when the truck sits for a day or so, it burns smoke out of the pipe for a couple of seconds. Truck only has 25k on it and still under warrenty. Is there anything i should worry about, or is this normal for the engine. On a side note my driveway has a pretty good incline in certain spots and seems to burn more when its park on the incline instead of on the flat surface. Any ideas would be great thanks

Ford will probably not do anything unless it's using more than a quart every 1000 to 1500 miles.
