Default Blue Smoke

The truck started smoking blue the other day after a 3 hour trip. I picked up a buddies busted truck on the trailer and started heading home. I hit some traffic and whenever I had to stop and tske off again I would get a good cloud of blue. I dont have and smoke/steam coming out of the case breather or pressure out of the oil fill neck. Valve seals or rings.

It does use a little oil maybe a quart a month. anything to look for to lean me more towards one or the other.
