After not driving my car for a couple of weeks, I noticed blue smoke coming from the exhaust until the car has warmed up. 97 Chim with approx 64k on the clock. It has only recently been serviced and has started doing this since the service.

Any ideas....

Have they changed the oil type during the last service?

Hoover.

It's probably an oil additive.... there is a garage over your way that uses an oil that produces this kind of smoking....

can't remember which one.

Yes probably I took it to a different garage for the first time as its more local. Would a change in oil type make a difference...

Power and oil usage is the about the same as before the service.

Any light grey deposit on the rear of the car?
I had this when an oil additive was used by.
