Sounds like the same thing that the C5'ers have been going thru. Your rings have not seated and is burning such a small quanity of oil that you can't really see the smoke but you can see the drop on the dip stick. It should go away but could take 1000 miles. Do a search on the C5 forum and you can read all about it.

I'm losing oil somehow on new motor...>
The new motor in my 1977 corvette is losing/using oil somehow?
The rebuilt 350/383 has 750 miles on the motor, was holding oil just
fine until 500 miles, then I lost/used 2 quarts since? There is not a
drop of oil on the ground and it's not burning any kind of smoke. Oil
pressure is/was excellent 40/75 until two quarts low. I replaced the
oil and pressure is good again.
Thanks for any help! :cheers:
