I have a 1994 CS which also has a tendency to blow smoke on the first start up of the day. It has been like this for eighteen months.
I wouldn't rush and spend a lot of time and money on this problem. How much oil is your car actually consuming? With my car I don't need to add oil between changes so the quantity must be small.
I have also noticed that the amount of smoke can vary according to the angle the car is parked on. If I park it on a downhill slope there is no smoke!
Also since I switched to semi-synthetic oil the oil cloud has reduced in size. Maybe full synthetic oil is worth a try?
