At least it wasn't black smoke...
When was the last time the car was started before this happened? Could be some oil slipped past the oil seals and therefore got burnt up, but for that long of a time to smoke that's a lot of oil.
Oil seals are going to crap. Don't drive the car if it keeps doing this, it's gonna drink oil like it's going out of style and you can kiss spark plugs goodbye quickly.
It might be rebuild time.

Well, think about it.. Blue smoke = oil. Can only come from 2 places.. The motor or the turbo. If you can do a better job then by all means, hook it up.
As far as the turbo is concerned, you can pull off an intake line and see how much oil you got hanging out in there.
