Blue smoke on start up

I got in my 2000 Boxster (52,000 miles) today and when I started it up it blew out some Blue smoke. It was enough to definately grab your attention. I have only owned the car for 2 months. I have never seen smoke come out the exhaust at any time before. I posted on this forum before because when I first got the car it threw a CEL on me and the readout was p1128 and 91130, rich fuel limit. I reset the light and it came back again. I then did a reboot by disconnecting the battery. I have been driving now for 3 weeks and it has not come back on.

I understand that the Boxster engine is know to blow blue smoke at startup, so this may be nothing to worry about.

My question is, if the CEL is reset, i assume that it will go off again if it detects a problem as before? Would there be another reason for the Blue Smoke?

With all the problems I read about on this forum, you can't help but worry about anything that happens ouside the norm.

I did take a 50 mile spin after the smoke and the car ran very well.

Thanks for any input.
