Question puff of blue smoke????

When I start up my car in the morning there is a puff of blue smoke upon initial start. But, it goes away after a few seconds. I have 7K on a new engine and I run Redline synthetic engine oil. It this puff normal? It's been doing it since I had 2K on it. Opinions welcome…

Is it a Large puff?? Just curious because since getting my motor rebuilt it will let off a good sized puff of bluish smoke then Immediately go away. Also, if you are running a premix like I am you have to consider that as well...especially non synthetics that don't have a clean burning properties. I tested out some marvel mystery oil in my lawnmower this past summer and it blew some major bluish smoke !! However, it mowed my lawn smooth and seemed to increase in hp haha !

My rebuilt motor (and before rebuilding also but much worse) has done the same since forever and I have been assured it is normal.
