Blue is associated with Oil
A little bit of all, is a Blown Engine.
Is normal to have some white smoke at1st crank. Is part of the condensation in the exhaust. One of the by products of the Catalytic Converter is just water. But not enough steam to make clouds. :-)

Do a compression test on the engine. Check the oil for water, if the oil is not clear oil, or has a beige tint to it you have a blown head gasket. White smoke usually means steam. Water in the engine is mixing with the oil, usually from the head gasket. If it only does it when cold, and goes away, then it is nothing to worry about, just condensation in the tailpipe. Good Luck.

It's getting old. Run a thicker oil or some STP oil treatment.

Is this all the time or only when cold?
