Ok guys this is wierd but i have folowed my blue smoke at start up problem for a while now. If i leave the car all night and start it up in the morning theres no blue smoke at all, when i drive for a while and shut it off and wait for the car too cool down and start it back up after like lets say an hour or two theres blue smoke and only for like 2 seconds. What could be the problem?

Maybe oils leaking into your exhaust when you shut off the engine for whatever reason, and after a day it dissipates, evaporates, solidifies etc. If less than a day passes, its still liquid and then blows out the blue smoke of burnt oil.

Just a guess.

Near the oil filter.
If you have V6 that is were the oil filter is located near the front bank of the y-pipe.
When you change your oil filter oil will seep out and flow right on the front bank of the y-pipe.
