Burning oil mate. Really common on these engines  Valve stem seal leak or piston rings/glazed bores.

For the blue smoke you must be burning it. How many miles has it done?

mines the same but done 80k, how much smoke is there. mines just gives out some on startup then none, put a tub of that wynns stop smoke in and it has helped a lot,it used to give out loads on startup, big cloud and you could smell it.
i know it won't fix it and just makes the oil a bit thicker but im just after keeping mine running till i decide what to do with it.
