bluish smoke

Occasionally i will see blue smoke when driving it doesn't last very long and possibly only notice it when it is below 30 f and it seems to run fine. should i be concerned?

I wouldn't worry about it, its probably occurring when you go into regen mode and the smoke its more noticeable due to the cold weather, but check all your fluid levels just in case.
