Nice numbers. My car will puff some smoke and it smells like burnt oil behind me the first time I step on hit after it has been sitting for about 7-12 days. If I drive is every day or every few days, it doesn't do it. I am not going to worry about it, but being your engine is new I would be pist off. Ask him about piston rings, and/or valve seals.
