Smoking

When I bought the car a month ago there was no smoke but now I notice there is a little bit of smoke in the morning on start up. It does not smoke a lot but I do notice that it is getting a little worse every week. I know that the oil control rings can be going bad and that I will need a rebuild when they go out but is there anything else that can cause this?

I just bought the car around a month ago and it only had 10,000 on a rebuild.

Dasani - I need a tune up anyways so I'll give it a try.

I'm looking forward to getting my motor ported with a single anyways so I'll start saving or just hit the lotto, which ever comes first - LOL - saving of course.

Bad PCV will cause smoke. Bad turbos will cause smoke. Condensation will cause what looks like white smoke, but isn't.

Thanks I will check the PVC and the turbos were also rebuilt with the engine but hey you never know right. I know the difference between condensation and smoke.
