Default Vauxhall help

Right not sure how to explain without gabbling on..................
But just bought a Zafira GSI 45,000 miles, fvsh e.t.c

Now i have noticed on start up i am getting some light blue/grey smoke
I am not getting it at any other time, not under acceleration, not on lift off, its purely only on start up.

Any ideas???

May well be mate, heard of a fair few Z20LET's having probs with them. Usually the point where you just whack a VXR turbo on there

They have told me they will do the turbo seals under warranty!!!

Now vauxhall have said they can do the seals without changing the turbo?!?!?! is that possible or is that more problems???
