How is your PCV valve? Replaced it lately? Lastly, how many miles are on your motor?

ditto above, PCV (From dealership) and a dry/wet compression test as you want to know how your piston rings are. Also high miles might = valve seals replacement..You're not burning oil because of the screen..

Changed mine pcv from AA. The most expensive pcv at advanced is $7.99 use code p20 for 20% off
But let us know if you do the comp test what the #'s are.. As for the blue smoke that's making me think pcv, valve seal(s), rings

Does the smoke go away after a Little while?

Rings are probabbly a lil worn at that point. But your valve seals are likely gone. I know i burn a decent amount of oil after start up and the engine has been sitting for a while. But it clears up and then doesn't seem to burn any at all.

If you're having oil pressure problems it seems to point to your bottom end on its way out.
