Blue Smoke

I have noticed since the switch to ULSD that my 05 6.0l has been giving off blue smoke in the morning when it is started. It seems to be getting a little worse. I have 37,000 miles on the truck. Any ideas?

Blue smoke is oil, and can be from bad rings, valve guides, oil seal at the turbo. Most likely cause would be an oil leak at the turbo.
