smoke coming from under the exhaust manifold?

I have an evo 8 and jus switched out my valve cover. And on the old one it wasn't smoking. However switched it out plugged everything back in. After I start up the car its fine. Then about 20 seconds later smoke startys rising from under the exhaust manifold. Is this due to a leak? Or jus when u change them out it breaks it in and that's what the smokes from? If anyone has ideas or solutions plz lemme know
