Blue smoke is burning oil but if your levels aren't dropping you probably aren't burning oil. Maybe its just normal grey smoke and you're slightly paranoid? If the car is driving fine I wouldn't worry mate

It's oil and its fairly common. PCV is first thing to check, also running a 5w40 oil would help
