Default a lot of smoke comes from engine and exhaust

i recently changed the oil and the filter 3 days ago.
when car is started the engine and exhaust spews out a lot of smoke.
well the engine smoke is fine because i spilled some oil just a little bit though so the smoke means the oil is burning away. of course.
but the exhaust on the other hand is still questioning me.
i have not drove the car since i replaced the oil and filter, i just car idle for awhile to let the oil settle in.
oh i almost forgot i also replaced the valve cover gasket.
its fine, i cover it with Form A Gasket stuff and works great.

im thinking i have to drive the car around in order for the smoke to clear.
