Don't worry yet, just about any old diesel is going to smoke some idling at 8 degrees. IH diesels are pretty well known for smoking blue when they've been running under a light load at slow speeds. I belive it is caused by the normal amount of oil that gets past the valve guides. It ends up in the exhaust manifold, which doesn't get hot enough to burn the oil off cleanly. Instead, just gets hot enough to cause the oil to smolder and stink and make blue smoke. The engines that really get left idling for long periods of time and never see a heavy load will often times have an oily mess under the manifold.
