Sounds (possibly) like general engine wear.

When the engine is cold the piston/ring clearance is 'wider' and you're drawing oil into the combustion chambers hence the blue smoke.

As the engine warms this 'gap' reduces (piston expansion) and the oil burning reduces.

Same can happen if the oil control rings on the pistons are gummed up.

Get the engine compression checked for proper confirmation.
