Unhappy Help With White Smoke!!

Hey I want to get an 86 rx7 n/a for my first car, found one for a good deal from a neighbor but its been sitting for about 6 months or more and when its started theres lots of white smoke.. is white smoke normal for a car that hasnt been started in a long time? Or does it still mean its the O-Rings?

If yall could respond ASAP i would appreciate it i really wanna buy this car!!

if it is a sweet smell the coolant seals are going and the motor has to be rebuilt, but wait for more responses just in case this is not the same as whar happened to my 91

had a car that was sitting for 8 months..... car smoked like crazy for about 2 days...... hasnt smoked since!!!! it could be buildup in the motor that needs to come out...... but it could also mean bad seals..... but its very common for rotarys to smoke after sitting for long periods of time
