Default smoke on start up Help.

when i start my cabby up (s2 rst powered) it smokes for a bit till it warms up. engine was rebuilt at begining of this year and a new turbo was put on. smokes for bout 5-10 mins as soon a temp got to bout 50+ degrees smoke stops. there's no smoke on acceleration or lift off only when engines cold. any ideas being told it could be stem seals.
