Default 1985 Z/28 Question

My friend has a 1985 z/28 with 65,000 original miles on it. It has a 350 TPI. It runs excellent, but everytime he starts it up after it's sat for a while, it spits out a little bit of blue-ish smoke. Any idea?

[align=left]seals r going, oil is spilling past the rings and burning in the combustion chamber, but when it gets hot they expand and dont leak

That would be oil going past the valve guide seals, through the guides and into the combustion chamber. Its a common thing.

But it doesn't burn anything while driving though, which is a little weird, also considering the miles, and that it isn't beat on. Im kind of thinking a possible small vacuum leak. But that is still a good thought. If you think of anything else let me know.
