It's going for a service on Thursday. I would be overjoyed if that will cure it.

Isn`t blue smoke a sign of turbo trouble?

my 03 wrx does this now and again on initial start up, low mileage car too.

i wouldn't worry about it too much, many many people on here have the same problem, could be nature of flat four or possibly turbo seals seepage.
