Unhappy Slight smoke on start-up

I've been seeing slight smoke on start-up of my '00 SS. No mods just all stock and use it as daily driver with 88,000 miles. Would my LS1 already need valve stem seals? Haven't performed a compression check/ leakdown check and no oil leaks visible on exterior of motor nor contamination of oil with coolant. Car still continues to run good but a disappointment to see my baby exhaling visible emmissions. Need your input please.

I think you're on the right track. It's 8 years old you're averaging 10K a year Shows it's sat around. All they have done is dry up a little.

Yea, nearing 10 year, the seals tend to harden, like stated above, they dry out.
