This is normal for almost all high mileage Chevy's and indicates no problem whatsoever as long as it is only during startup after sitting for a period and only lasts for a minute or two.
It's oil getting past the valve guides and pooling there, then burning off abruptly upon startup.
Every Chevy I've owned has done it (I've never had a new car, lol) except for the fake little 86 Nova I bought for my wife, and that's because those things were actually made by Toyota.Comment

A little bit of smoke at start up that goes away after a few minutes is usually valve-stem seals. Cold, the seals let oil but, but once they warm up, they work again.Comment
