The cold startup blue smoke has been happening for the past ~30k miles (the '01 LPT is at 108k now). It goes away after a few seconds so I don't worry about it too much.
I was able to greatly reduce the smoke by using Redline 5w40 but at ~$11/qt after shipping stopped using it in favor of whatever A3/B3 oil I can scrounge up. The local NAPA has the right flavor of Lubromoly, I'll try that next time.
