The blue smoke you see coming out of your exhaust pipe is oil that is being burned off inside your engine.

This can be caused by a bad head gasket and valve cover gasket, or by bad piston rings.

what is happening is oil is leaking into the combustion chamber and is being burned off along with the fuel/ air mixture creating the blue smoke.

make sure to check the oil level because depending on the car, it could be burning off about a quart a month.
