Blue Smoke At Idle

Blue Smoke At Idle
The last two weeks my truck has been blowing blue smoke when I'm stopped at stop lights (at least this is when I notice it). Basically it will blow clouds of blue smoke for a few seconds, and then it will stop for 15 or 20 seconds. then it will start smoking again. I can not see or smell any diesel in the oil. So is the general consensus I have an injector going bad? Could this be caused by bad fuel? The truck still runs great and I am getting good MPG.

I finally got around to check them.
Engine temp 172 F
Park --------- Drive
1 -4.03 --------- -4.5
2 0.2 --------- 2.74
3 -2.74 -------- -3.86
4 0.7 -------- -3.1
5 -1.74 -------- -3.42
6 0.18 -------- 0.97
7 -1.01 -------- -1.38
8 3.42 -------- 5.23
What does the mm stand for after the measurement?

Your #8 injector is still within spec but getting close to being out. BTW- dont check your balance rates in park. The figures will lie to you. The first thing you need to check here before spending a bunch of time and money on hard parts is to check your PCV system. If its plugged or restricted you will get smoke at idle.
