Default leftover oil in cat or something wrong?

i had a cracked piston a couple weeks ago and was smoking blue like crazyy. Finally got my engine rebuilt with low comp pistons, rings and new rods and got it back two days ago. Just noticed that small blue smoke but noticable on the road when i drive and go alittle fast. Could this be leftover oil inside my cats?

how long does it usually take to burn out all the oil in the cat? the car doesnt smoke when idle.

It could be leftover oil in the exhaust. If there is enough it could take awhile to burn the rest. My friend's civic leaked a bunch of coolant into the exhaust and it took almost 2 days to get it all out. By the way are you turbo charged??

I'd imagine it would have some blue smoke at idle.
