Default White smoke on start up WHAT IS IT

1997 1.9 DTurbo Pug 306.

on start up, and only on start up, i get a lot of white smoke plooming out my zorst and surrounding my car lol!

ideas? dissapears when warm, it just lingers around a bit too much on start up for me to ignore it.

White smoke is oil in the turbo, exhaust side VERY common on some pugs.

white smoke is vapourised diesel

oil smoke is blue.....

and for reference black smoke is over fueling.


On a pug I would suggest glow plugs and/or low compression.
