Smoking at start up (archive)

All,

Anyone have experienced heavy smoke coming out when starting up? It usually lasts about 5 seconds immediately after start, and then disappears. It appears to be blue (I know - not good, indicates oil burning, eh?) The car has just passed 61k, and the mileage appears to be correct. My car has not yet had the nikasil block replaced, and I was thinking (hoping) that the smoke could be an indication of that it'll fail the leak-down test when I take it. Any thoughts/experiences?

Thanks,
Big-T
