I opened the oil lid to the crank case and there was a little bit of somke coming out, not much but just a little. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about this?

Sounds normal but check the flame trap to be sure it is clean and the hose open.

that is always normal after the car has been used... that is one of the things that causes some of the build up in the engine. Normally you only see it after you just finished driving, when the engine is HOT. unless of course someone put a firecracker in your engine... or a smoke bomb :)
