blue smoke

So I got a 6.0 with only 119k on it. I just bought it. blows blueish smoke. I'm not losing coolant so it's not the egr cooler. any thoughts? It was blue, then went to plumes of black, then back to blue. pushed the dipstick out and sprayed oil all under the hood.

That sounds like some serious blow by to push the dipstick out.
It literally pushed the entire mile long dipstick out? Or just pushed it up?

Take the oil fill cap off, how bad is the blow by? Can you set the cap on upside down without the cap blowing off?

What kind of boost does it make?

You have something to monitor data live?
