Bluesmoke upon startup...WTH?

2001 E-320 4-Matic wagon, 57K miles, former MB leased car, outstanding condition all around. Bought it Oct. 2, '06 w/52K from MB w/Starmark 2 yr warranty.
On several occassion in the last two months, here is what has happened: Moved car from garage to end of driveway (10 degree angle) or to the street. This takes no more than 30 sec. Car sits for several hours, I start it up and a very noticeable bluesmoke cloud comes from the exhaust. This does not happen under any other conditions. Dealer serviced at purchase w/Mobil 5-40W. My Indie thinks this is too thin and/or a valve guide problem exists. Can anyone give me an insight to this before I take it for warranty service? Many thanks! Dennis
