I have blue smoke on start-up ONLY if the previous start-up of the car was to move it from driveway to garage, or something similar, with no opportunity for engine/turbo/seals to fully warm up. And it doesn't happen everytime either - actually, quite infrequently.
I have noticed this for over 100,000 miles but have no oil consumption problem, no unusually heavy soot on the chromed exhaust tip, and no evidence of a failed turbo. Just a worrisome big puff of blue smoke now and again.
