Sudden Blue Smoke

No hint of problem previously. Went to work and 3 hours later tried to start F350 truck, and instantaneous blue smoke with loss of power. Need help with possible problems. Oil changed 500 miles ago along with fuel and air filters. Checked oil level, and truck has not used any oil.

I've only ever seen one powerstroke smoke blue and that was caused by a blown oil seal in the turbo.

alot of times the blue smoke is confused with white smoke. it will have a blueish tint to it. oil smoke is typicly really blueish in color. you can smell the smoke as well to see if its oil or fuel smoke.
