Jeff - my Testarossa and Boxer both provide blue smoke, on occasion, at start-up. Not when accelerating. My R90/6 BMW motorcycle does the same, as did my 356C Porsche. I am convinced, despite disputation to the contrary, that the horizontal opposed configuration lends itself to oil accumulation during rest with initial blue smoke on start-up as a result.

For what it is worth.
