Car has set for 2 years and sometimes smokes under light throttle

Like topic says car has set for 2 years and the car runs fine wouldn't idle for crap but I adjusted the TB screw and got it idling good.

Now it is blue smoke and doesn't smoke all the time just sometimes. Smokes normally when the car has sat over night and then starts in morning and you take off.

I guess it is oil smoke but don't really know what to do to help fix the issue.

Car Specs:

87 13B Non-Turbo
10w-40 oil Castrol GTX
Leaky stock exhaust (not real bad but sorta bad)
Stock paper air filter
159,000 miles on engine

Sounds like a leaky fuel injector. Do you have trouble with flooding alot.
