AnswerThe blue smoke is produced by the engine burning oil. If it only comes in the morning, that more than likely points to worn out valve seals.

The valve seals keep oil from leaking into the firing chambers in the head. When you park your car (like overnight), a bit of oil more than likely enters one of the firing chambers (a couple of the valves may have been left on the open position when you shut off the engine), and a small couple of drops of oil is enough to create a pretty big cloud of blue tinged smoke.

Replacing the valve seals is quite difficult, as one may have to take off the cams and the valve springs/rockers and also needs special tools to keep the valves from dropping into the cylinder/etc.

Personally, if it only comes on in the morning after you left it off for a couple of hours, I wouldn't worry too much about it. If its like a Ford 150 engine, I believe its actually quite normal to loose some oil like this due to a defect in the engine. As long as you are not burning so much oil that you have to carry a can around.
