I'm going to have a leakdown test done just to have peace of mind, but it's not showing symptoms of a blown head gasket other than white smoke, but the white smoke isn't constant and pretty inconsistent. It could also just be related to the decat producing a little bit of smoke.

Sorry for the wrong direction advice. I missed the post where he found the seal leak. I was going from the initial posts where it seemed like it WASN'T leaking on the outside of the engine. Disregard everything I said. Glad to hear it's nowhere near as serious as I initially thought. Rear main seal is a pain just because of all the stuff you need to do to access it, but at least it's not an engine rebuild.
