Blue smoke coming out of exhaust when started the car after washing it

After washing my car I started it up and I noticed that the car was blowing out blue smoke out of the tail pipe, the car never has done this before and only a puff comes out when I start on some mornings, but today it was smoking out of it for a good 2 minutes or so countinioulsy!! whats going on!!!! i also noticed that at idle the car shakes a little, I even notice in the mornings when I first start it up after leaving it parked over night that it tends to shake alot but then slowly calms down as the temp hits its maximus threshold. The car starts up perfectly and the water temp reads at 180 F. Whats causing this slight shaking at idle and the blue smoke?

Are you burning engine oil? How much?

Maybe the oil line to the turbo is getting clogged.

What's the mi and condition of your engine and turbo?

Any engine code indicating bad sensors?

If you aren't burning too much oil and this happens seldomly, you should be okay. Maybe some new plugs would help. How is the idle, beside the shaking you mentioned? Try a ground strap (a big wire from engine/battery to chassis) to see if the shaking holds.

The engine is brand new with only 43000 K on the motor, the turbos are brand new aswell. Now where is the wire located that goes from the battery to the chassis?
