Blue smoke is a sign of burning oil so it may be the turbo or possibly piston rings failure or maybe a crack in the head. There are too many possibilities really to speculate. You need to get a diagnostic test done with a high end system like diagbox and see what codes it throws up. :)

Indeed, another possibility, that usually will be visible with oil pooling in the injecture ports :)
