blue smoke? how many km on the engine? it’s prolly on it’s way out. do a compression test (wet test) to confirm. piston rings are most likely worn quite severely if you’re still blowing smoke after the engine has warmed up.

after it warms up its fine, when driving anyways, its just after a startup.

The motors got about 365,000 km on it.

Valve seals leak oil into the engine. Once it warms up the leak seals. With that many K im not really surprised though.
