car blows blue smoke?

after high speed cruising the car blows blue smoke on acceleration after slowing down
it does not use any oil as in 15k miles i have not had to top up
and the acceleration and top speed is bang on
but the smoke is a little disturbing has anybody any ideas???

probably just some oil that's collected in the breather system! try cleaning breather system, pipes, filters & any valves, etc...

Oil is getting by the rings and/or oil seals/valve guides. Usually a sign of neglect (too long a time left between engine oil and oil filter changes).
