My 89 Acura Lengend puffs a small puff of smoke everytime I hit the gas.

Also smokes a little while it idles. No smoke when driving on the highway.

What could cause this?

Valve stem seals.

Legends have a common problem with that. The fix is replace the breather tube that goes into the front valve cover. It collapses and makes the car smoke oil a bit. In addition remove the valve cover top and I bet you will find they are plugged with crap. Clean all this out and your smoking problem will go away.
