Bleu smoke on start up! Help

I started my V8 vantage this morning pulled it out the garage to wash it all fine it was standing tail high on the drive incline, say about 10 degrees incline, after cleaning it and drying I started to pull it back into the garge.

Blue smoke for a second or two out of both pipes (almost white) very disturbing car does not use oil and has 26000Km on it, any comments on what could have caused that?

Was it cordon bleu smoke? Maybe some chicken and cheese got caught in the combustion chamber.

No idea of your particular problem, but blue smoke normally means you're burning oil.

My V12 was like that after every time the dealer serviced it - they would insist on overfilling it with oil. If I started the engine, then stopped it almost immediately, then started it a few minutes later, it would puff. Dealer told me it was "normal" to overfill it and I that I shouldn't be starting it then stopping it without it warming up.....It could also be a breather pioe/valve issue with V12s. I know your car is a V8, but I wanted to share this as what's good for the goose might be good off the gander.
