I've noticed a puff of blue smoke on start up on my CLS, it only last a few seconds, I'm thinking it's fuel in the tailpipes.

I'll contact the dealer tomorrow but was wondering if anybody had seen this on 320 diesel.

TBH The general rule is that if its thickish white smoke then its unburt diesel (this happens potentially from leaky injectors).

Blue smoke generally means you have a coolant leak thats burning off. Its probably an idea to take a video and post it up so more experienced people can view it however your best to take it to a mechanic as the smell of the fumes is a good indicator in what it might be.

Hope it helps.
