If your fuel leak stops when the engine warms up check to see if everything is tight in that area. Take a wrench and tighten allyour bolts/nuts in that area...don't over-torque!
As for the blue smoke...pull off the induction tube that goes from the turbo to your throttle body...is it full of oil? If so, you need to re-build your turbo. If that is the case make sure you replace the oil feed and drain lines to the turbo...the drain line is large so just a thouough cleaning will probably do, but you must repace the feed line. A little puff of smoke on start-up and light smoke at idle is a good sign of leaking turbo seals OR valve seals. What kind of km on the engine? What was the oil like that you drained out?
