today i was sitting at a stop sign waiting to pull out and i notice some blue smoke comming from exhaust and the middle of my car(burnt oil obviously). i pull back into the parking lot at work and it stopped. i go to back out and my co-worker said a puff of smoke came from the middle of my car so i start tweaking. i pull back in and nothing this time, also i noticed some times when i let my car idle a while when i warm it up in the cold midwest morrnings weve had lately when i get in the car it has a slight burnt oil smell. its got me a little worried my car has about 6800 miles on it. my mods are in my profile, and my cc isnt installed right now. i dont see any oil that seemed to be leaking, havnt had a chance too look under the car yet though. prob gonna make a service appointment at my dealer, but any ideas?? possibly oil burrning off in the turbo? this got me worried

Blue smoke from exhaust

POSSIBLE CAUSES
-Oil return line blocked
-Engine breather clogged
-Turbocharger shaft seals damaged

again it was just a small amount but the oil smell when it idles for a long time gets me? now my boss took my car to lunch and he like a dumb ass hammered on it and shut it off hot as hell could this have contributed to this?
