OMG - Blue Smoke at Start-up

I will continue to monitor this and make the dealer aware in the event it gets worst. I know blue smoke does usually mean oil but if so many of our trucks are doing the same thing and the 350 Z with the 3.5L engine does the same, I can't help but wonder if it really is a rich start-up with the fuel mixture. I will get someone to start it for me so I can get at the exhaust to get a wiff which should determine the problem.

Any additional thoughts or ideas would still be appreciated!

whiff is not the way...color is. rich fuel state gives black smoke. oil is blue. white is coolant. juma
