sounds like valve stem oil seals they go from rubber to like a hard plastic due to heat this lets oil into the cylinders the blue smoke is the oil in the cylinders burning off. sometimes they can be changed without removing the cylinder head.

Usually if valve stem oil seals are knackered you get smoke all the time and worse as engine warms up . Your fault is only on start up and then clears .
