My suspicion is excessive heat and/or poor quality control on the seals
themselves. Maybe the vehicle ran overly hot at one point. And I suspect
that it's only a few (or maybe even just one) bad seal that causes the
issues. Mine does a puff at startup, and folks said that I was getting puffs
at Blackhawk in the first couple of sessions when I let off the gas. That
seemed to stop as the day went on.....but that was also my first use of
MaxLife oil, so maybe the oil started "doing it's thing" after a few
sessions (??).

Ron,

You could be right, but there is an exception for every rule.

Dirty oil can't help but speed up wear/tear, that is a 
given.  Why valve seals/guides go bad is about as hard to 
track down as why some cam lobes go flat and others don't. 
Just the luck of the draw on part quality is the best guess 
at this point.
