Smoke after cam install. 2002 Camaro SS, had a (big) cam installed over Memorial Day and have noticed what appears to be blue/gray smoke coming out the back. Noticed it almost immediately but has gotten worse. After about two to three thousand miles I have checked the dipstick and can tell no real oil consumption. Car has 13400 miles. Any input would be appreciated.

Like mentioned... valve seals would be my suspicion. I did the cam swap on my truck at ~100k miles and the seals were brittle and falling apart so I replaced them with some felpro vitons.
