blue smoke after sitting at idle 850 1994

Hello everyone. I have a '94 850 Turbo wagon. I've noticed a burning oil smell once the engine gets warm. Tends to come through the vents if I'm bringing in fresh air from outside. Today, I noticed a puff of blue smoke whenever I started off after sitting at idle for a minute or two. Say for example sitting through a red light. As soon as I gave the car the gas, "puff" goes the blue smoke. This only seems to be happening once the engine is warm. As I'm driving or idling, don't see any smoke. I even think one time I saw a puff of smoke come out from under the hood on the passenger side. I'm not leaving any puddles or even spots under the car, so wherever the leak is, it's not too serious. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
