[s-cars] Smoke at startup

I just noticed that my '95.5 S6 smokes pretty badly just after startup, when
the engine is warm. I have not noticed it when the engine is cold.

If I start the car and let it idle it will begin to smoke quite a bit. If I
drive off I see no smoke, and then if I come to a stop I see no further
smoking.

I'd tell you whether it's blue or white smoke, but I'm not sure as I'm color
impaired.

Any thoughts on what it could be? Leaky fuel injector? Oil getting past the
valve guides or rings while the car is sitting?

Other thoughts?
