Blue Smoke

06 completely stock 33000 miles on truck. Since about 20000 miles every time I tow with my truck (5000lb to 10000lb) that day and up to 2 days afterwords I notice blue smoke. Sometimes at idle but it is most noticeable at take off after idling, for example at a long stop light I get a large cloud of smoke when I take off. This blue smoke smells extra strong. I have taken truck in but it was not smoking anymore and there weren't any codes so they said ford would not pay for them to try to find a problem that was not happening at that time while they had the truck. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks BowTieHatr I ran this idea by my service guy and he said it sounds like a good place to start looking. Truck goes in on the 21st. If it is the oil seal do they just replace the seal only or is there more to it than that?
