thin oil causing smoke?

I drove my car quite hard today in the heat, after letting it cool down I noticed blueish smoke coming out of the nearside exhaust, it only seemed to thicken as the car cooled.

 

After switching it off and starting it up several hours later I let it idle again, this time, there was no smoke.

 

Whats causing this? & by changing the oil will it help to stop it smoking?

 

cheers, Dan

    It may be coming from the turbo seal, you could try changing the oil or just take it a bit easier with this warm weather.
