Bad burn - Pontiac 6000

When my car gets hot and I stop at a red light or something, I notice that when I give it some gas to go it pisses out blue smoke, a hell of alot. it doesn;t do this when it is cold and when I am just driving it doesn't do this. Only when picking up from a stop. I put a new cooling fan into her which reduced the problem but it is still happening. I am running a 4 2.5L with 5W30, I've been told 10W might help it a bit. Is there anything else I can do.
Also my exhaust smells of raw gas. The sparkplugs are new but they are modestly fouled (probably by the oil getting into the cylinder). Anything I can do to fix this (Injected...)

Blue usually means oil is burning. If you are adding all the time it needs to be checked out. It could be something simple but that historically is a sign of a worn engine.
What year and miles and any history would help.
Check your fluid levels and at least keep the full.
5-30 will burn faster than the higher grades of viscosity.
