Keep an eye on the smoke.

Does it smell like oil?

Does it smell like a rich fuel smell?

Monitor it.

Well i noticed it today because i was parked in the garage and when i started it up the smoke came into the garage and hung around a bit - so i knew it was oil based smoke. It was definitely blue too and i was like you got to be kidding me. So i moved the truck to the driveway and turned it off- then i started it back up again and no blue smoke. Well i let it sit for about 2 hours and when i started it back up i got blue smoke again. So then i gave it some gas after it was running and no blue smoke. It smells like a rich oil smell lol so im not sure if its a rich gas smell or straight oil smell lol

Some people are suggesting leaky valve seals?

Now lets throw this into the mix- what if im a little over filled on oil? lets say what if im at 7.1 qts in the engine would it blow blue smoke on startup. I dont think im over full- but its pretty close to the top cross hair. This is just a idea lol

I think im within the 3 yr warranty and if not i have ESP but im wondering what this is only at 23k kinda makes me mad.

Ill definitely monitor it
