Blue smoke startup

[VNorman at TelecompSys.com]

Traditionally, blue smoke on startup is caused by oil seeping past the valve
stem seals and forming a pool on top of the pistons. When you start the car
the oil is burned off, hence the  puff of smoke.  I guess a similar thing
could happen with oil getting past the turbo seals...
If the car runs okay and you're not socially embarrassed by the neighbors
not being able to see across the street each morning, live with it.
