Ole smoky

Large amount off smoke is coming off the headers after doing a zz4 engine swap. it is a tpi intake and i am going off a hunch that the intake is leaking. It is coming off the passanger side, but the crank pressure is blowing the pcv valve out, so i didn't know if it may be related. Any help will be useful.

Every time I do an engine swap, the headers always smoke like crazy, it will stop in about 3-5 minutes. If it doesnt, than theres something else going on. Check the valve cover gaskets.
