Why does my car blue smoke when I start it in the morning?
The most common cause of blue exhaust smoke is oil leaking past engine seals and into the cylinders where it then mixes and burns with the fuel. Blue exhaust smoke only at start-up can indicate worn piston seals or damaged or worn valve guides which may also cause a rattling noise.
When do you get blue smoke from the exhaust?

Why does my car have blue smoke coming from the intake manifold?
The PCV Valve releases the pressure which builds up in the oil pan into the intake manifold where the engine gets its air for running. The intake manifold is connected with the air filter of the engine as well. If the PCV valve gets stuck, it will keep mixing the oil with air and other gases inside the engine.
