Valve seals are leaking.

Leaking valve seals is a good possibility. When you turn the engine off, oil pools in the heads and drains down into the cylinders so that when you next start the engine, the oil gets burned and comes out the tailpipe as bluish smoke. Also if you accelerate real hard, a friend driving behind you may see blue smoke also.

Blue smoke is burning oil - if you only need to make it last a couple more weeks,just make sure you have oil in the engine and dont worry about it . its not a head gasket - that's white smoke

i own a repair shop,and blue smoke is oil ,and that would indicate that it has a oil burning problem with it,id try and find out why its doing this all the sudden,if you have ever had any problems from it running hot on you that will cause this to happen to it,but it needs to be checked out by a good mechanic,you may have hidden problems with it getting ready to surface,good luck hope this helps.
