my ram burns oil for about 5 seconds after start up. it does not do it after sitting all night or if i shut it off and imeadeatly restsrt it. It happens after it has set for a hour to about 2 hours and it does not do it every time. i took it to a dealership and they said the plugs were clean and it was probably the valve stem seals. gthey replaced all the seals and it cost 870.00 dollars. I picked it up and it did it again. they said they could not get it to smoke when they had it and now i have concern that they even did the work. any suggestions on how to handle this or what else it could be would be great. the engine is a 4.7
