Default 2012 blowing blue

When I started the truck ( around 1 Celsius) gave a 6-7 minute warm up idled down the driveway to the gate couple hundred feet. When I went to pull out on the road the truck hesitated , chugged, blew blue smoke. Stopped to close the gate and it did the same thing again. Drove a bit had to stop and start again was good. Drove 20 minutes was parked for 6 hours started and drove fine home. Started the next day chugged and blew blue , kicked up the idle for 5 minutes it chugged and blew a couple times then was fine.

Blue smoke is oil. How many miles on it?

At 128K, it wouldn't surprise me..... No idea how you would check them, without physically removing them, and if you are going to that, might just as well replace them.
