yeah... my mates ED has pretty much the same problem...on starting it blows thick blue smoke which gradually dissapears..the consensus is that its the valve stem seals,because if it was the piston rings it would smoke continuously....dont think its a head gasket,as it was replaced 1 year ago,and its not going through coolant.He replaced the head last year with a 2nd hand one from a wreckers.....the head was machined but the seals would have been the old ones.
