Blue/Black Smoke at Startup in Cold

Ok I just need opinions I know it is almost nothing to worry about, but if it only happens in the morning (colder) I get the smoke otherwise if I didn;t start the car for a day and into the day when it is warmer I don't get it I also have intermitten IGN, problems (SES) could I just be running rich.

If it is the valve seal I don't care (insert, I don't have the money), but if it is running rich how can I fix that (besides replacing the ign if that fixes it)?

Sorry for the long post just needed some opinions.

Thanks

response to BLUE SMOKE. Common problem, valve guide seal leaking. GM has service bulletin to correct problem. Short version is to install positive valve guide seals. If you need GM part number E-mail me and I will supply needed info. Danno
