Question for the wise

10 days ago my truck left me stranded. The dealer replaced the fuel pump,two injectors and o-rings on two more injectors. Since having the work done I have noticed a substantial puff of blue smoke on cold starts. I didn't notice this before it was worked on, but I also wasn't looking for it. Should I be taking this truck back to the dealer or is this normal? Could an o-ring get damaged or incorrectly installed and cause this? I have had issues with this dealer and their work before, and am reluctant to take it back to them. What dealership in Calgary, Alberta do you guys recommend. Any input would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Neil.

Runs great and has the latest flash. Fuel mileage could be better though. After EGR cooler, oil cooler,and head gaskets were done my fuel mileage dropped about 2 miles/gallon.
