I had that, when i got my engine rebuilt, its poss old oil,still in the engine.

or your headgasket has gone and water is getting into the engine, either way its best to get it checked ASAP.

Hope that helps

I noticed this on my Scooby when i bought it
Cold start up i had a tad bit of blue smoke, only just noticable tho, it was rebuild by zen performance (the bottom end) which cost nearly £2700

recently tho it hasnt been smoking on cold start up, so im hoping it could be old oil as mentioned above

Yeah I had this after a service at a specialist, I hasten to add. Checked the oil level and it was over the full mark. Drained some oil out took it for a run and bingo smoke gone.
