I'd also guess valve stem seals.
I had kind of similar experiences with my '94 Aero at about 160k miles. In my case, I'd only get the blue smoke if I let it sit for a week.
I had retorqued my #10 head bolt as well. In my case, it was dribbling coolant down the front of the engine. I'd also put in a new turbo recently, so I knew it wasn't that.
Last year, I pulled the head to re-do the timing chains and finally solve the head gasket issue properly. You could tell from looking at the valves which ones were leaking. Lots of goopy build up. I had all new seals put in, and the problem ceased once I had it running again. I believe, if you can manufacture yourself a little tool to keep the valves from dropping, that it is possible to replace the stem seals without removing the head.
