Now, as I stated it does not smoke all the time, so maybe it is not in burn mode?
Ugh, my brain.

That is blue smoke. Most likely from the valve seals on the valves. The oil leaks down the valve guides and goes into the cylinder and burns off when you start the car.

This a simple fix or do the heads need to come off and be rebuilt?

The valve covers have to come off and the rocker arms removed.
Then remove the spark plug and add air to the cylinder to support the valve when you remove the springs.
Then you need to use a valve spring removal spring and remove the valve springs. Then the seal can be accessed and replaced.

Okay yea, I was not to sure that could be done without taking heads off, do both intake and exhaust seals all around? Is there anything else I should probably do while I am there?

Yes, they both have seals.
Make sure you clean out all dirt and debris from the head and the return holes to the oil pan.
