Exclamation Blue Smoke

On my 2001 f250 PSD recently within the last couple of days when I start it up in the morning after sitting all night it will bellow out a big cloud of blue smoke for like 15 seconds. Previous to this there was no smoke at all.. I have no idea why it is doing this all of a sudden?

When my truck was acting like that it was a bad fuel pump, and the smoke had some white in it also. But if its really blue your burning oil, id check the oil level first and see if its low.

I will check the oil level when I get out of class. The last time I checked the oil it was between the lines.
