Default Where can Oil Seep By?

Hi Guys!D
I have a 2002 Silverado with 5.3 engine( 3464 miles).
Problem:
If I let the truck idle for 5 minutes and blip the throttle it will smoke ( Dark Blue and sometimes light Blue). It will also do this if it has idled and you turn it off and restart it if it has idled 5 minutes or longer. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

I showed this to a GM Rep and he told me my truck is not broken in and wouldn't be until it got 12,000 miles on it. He said I must wait till then to get it worked on. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Where could oil be seeping by?
It won't do this if you let it set overnight or two or three days.

What do you guys think. It has agrevated me to death. Could it be the intake is not tight enough or what? I have the new updated PVC Value and it still makes no difference.

Sorry for the long post <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Thanks Lee! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Lots of these trucks do it. I wouldn't worry about it unless you are using lots of oil. It won't leak through the PCV if it is just idling.
