If you are that concerned about it than delete the PCV system. Run vents on both valve covers that vent to the atmosphere, no catch can.
Then you're polluting and won't pass a visual emissions inspection. However, you would be keeping the crankcase's oily vapor out of the intake stream, thus reducing/eliminating that vile blue smoke that the OP is concerned about.
1.Contact your Sales Representative or Service Advisor at your selling/servicing dealership.

Hi Saleen, thanks for all of your help in this.
These are the 3 things that I did initially. When I called Ford, the woman I spoke to was nothing short of rude and condescending. I told her what was going on and she said "So what would you like for me to do for you?" I said I wanted my car fixed and she said she wasn't a mechanic and only a Ford certified mechanic could do that. I told her I already went through that and they say it is normal. She said, "Tell me how I can resolve this issue for your today." (Too bad I can't capture her tone of voice) She eventually tells me if I'm not happy with my dealership, I could go to another one, which is what I did...and I was told the same thing by them.
I should add an element that I have left out, simply because I didn't want any pity responses. My husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer last August. He was not given very long to live and in December he was approved for early payout on his life insurance policy, and he started his "bucket list." The Mustang was part of that list, he always wanted a new 'Stang and I saw no reason at all why he shouldn't have one.
I am normally a fighter, but all of my fight goes to caring for him. The dealership knew all of this when we bought the Mustang and they know that I can't just drop by for an oil check on a whim. When he was still well enough, we did a lot of traveling and the oil change came due while out of state. We didn't use Ford dealers, but did use the suggested oil/filter.
That's the only reason we have 11K on it now because normally I only put about 50 miles a week. I'm doing things I would never do to try to get the miles up to 1000, because otherwise it would take several months to get there and I don't want this to drag on any further. But I simply can't travel far from home or leave him for very long.
I'm determined to get this resolved and most certainly I KNOW that this is not normal.
A few things I have noticed -- The primary oil loss is within the first few hundred miles after an oil change, after that, it doesn't seem to lose oil, at least not much. The other thing is that the oil appears "dirty" before oil changes. I brought this up to the sales manager and he said that it was normal...synthetic oil cleans so it picks up dirt/grime. That doesn't sound right to me, at least not on a car with 11K miles on it.
Get yourself a big ass sign that say's Ford wont honor there warranty and stand at the entrance to their lot I bet you get helped then. Hell I'd come out and do it for you if you lived close enough. I bet you get some attention then. It is sad that you are having so much trouble. And to think before this I thought it was just Pontiac dealer's that treated their customer's like this.
I like Mean Mike's idea of taking it to another mechanic to see whats wrong with it. Get it in writing and take it to the ford dealership and show them the paperwork with what is wrong with the car.
