One should not immediately be put off by a puff of blue smoke from a car that has been sitting for several days. Almost any turbo will put out a little blue smoke if the engine has been idle for some time. The thinner the oil the more will leak past the seals of the turbo. The seals are designed to be most effective at operating temperatures. Granted, if there is more than a puff or if there is a trail of blue upon deceleration there is cause for concern.
