You say new valve stems. What are valve stems? Do you mean new valve seals?

Well, just thinking that maybe one is not seated right or popped off or somehow got damaged during the install. On my DSM the original seals just wore out and my symptoms were the same as yours.

Valve seals typically leak on a cold start and then goes away once the car is warm. Maybe try a leakdown test on it?
