That's definitely your turbo seals going bad. I have the same car (2001 SE V6) with 163k miles and it's been blowing blue smoke at start up for about 5k miles. The V6's are not prone to PCV issues so that's probably not it. What happens is as the seals get warn out in the turbo and oil will leak into the intake side and get sucked in at startup. Oil burns blue and is thrown out the exhaust. It's not a problem to drive your car like this for a while, that's what I am going to do seeing as the turbo replacement on the V6 is about $2,000. =( It's just embarrassing when you start it and burns some oil, so keep an eye on it.
