If it smokes blue longer than just at startup, about 90% sure it's rings.

Could try the MMO solution, might help out. Sounds like it's time for new rings.

go to an automotiove store, buy a few bottles of marvel mystery oil (enough to do an oil change). chainge your oil, put the mmo in it, keep it in there for a few hundred miles, and see if things get better. if it does, thank the porsche gods, and change oil again (putting your usual oil type in it). if it dosent help.. your rings are ****ed.. marvel mystery oil has been known to cure some situations that seem to be lost causes... other times it dosent do anything. at thi point id say its worth a try.
