So I guess it's not a head gasket, the smoke coming out is blueish. What's that?

Hi,
If you are seeing blue smoke from the exhaust, that indicates engine oil is being burned in the combustion chamber. Do you notice it using more oil than would be expected?
Now, this can be the result of a couple of different things. For example, worn piston rings,
an issue within the PCV system, worn valve stem seals and so on. How much smoke are you seeing? Does it seem worse when the engine is cold?
Let me know.
