Default Light grey smoke????

Morning Guys,

Had an oil change at my garage on Friday, they did the usual flush and clean etc. I asked them to put in the usual oil shell helix 10 - 40W which has worked everytime i change the oil.

Went out on saturday and the thing was smoking a light grey almost white smoke when it was cold but as soon as the car got up to temperature it cleared and was fine. there is no difference in performance or any rattles. Could it be the seals on the turbo have been knackered or something else?

Cheers John
