Default fixed leak but still need help

i found some permanent head gasket and block sealer so i put it in and followed the instructions and the truck wasnt blowing any white smoke. and it wasnt locking the engine up either. i took it out for a run today and its pouring rain out after it got hot it started blowing blue smoke but it was real thin smoke and it did it when i let off the throttle. is this something else or is it leaking again? and could it be the oil cooler? im waiting for it to cool and i cant check the radator to see if i have lost antifreeze and to see if the motor is locked up on not. but what would the thin blue smoke be?

well then quit bitchin and run it till she blows. then bitch cause you didnt fix it before. if you do it yourself, headgasket job will run around 600-1000 bucks, depending on if the head needs work.
