It's a very small amount of oil getting past your valve stem seal(s) and when you crank it up the little bit of oil is burnt and shot out through your cat-less Y.
Perhaps your cats were masking an existing condition. I'm willing to bet $100 that if you replaced your valve stem seals you'd get rid of the problem. ~Joshua

~Joshuals1howto seems to have a decent section on the valvetrain, might shed some light on it?
