Default Burning Oil?

hey guys i have an 02 SS and its been sitting for about a day and i started it and it had a little bit of blueish smoke coming out the exhaust for about three minutes or so until it warmed up. It has about 19000 miles on it, with the mods in my sig, is it possible that im burning oil? If i am where would it be coming from?

Blueish smoke would indicate oil, but is strange at only 19000 miles. If it only does it at start up I would initially suspect the valve seals. If the seals where changed with the cam install maybe you got a hold of a bad one????
