Anyone's GT smoking?

I get what looks like blue smoke at start up after car sits idle a while. The other day the thing started smoking at a red light. I'm getting the run around from dealer, but I get the feeling from the tech this is not the first time he's seen this on an 05. Anyone notice anything like this?

Blue-ish smoke sounds like burning oil. That is a serious problem and I'd definately have it checked out.

Blue-ish smoke after startup sounds like a possible valve guide / seal issue.
