Random smoke

My problem is that if my car is not started for a few days and I start it and take it for a drive I get some smoke around the turbo. But if I have driven it within a day it doesn't smoke around the turbo at all. I have replaced both feed and return gaskets and replaced the feed line. I am really stumped on why it would do this so randomly. It seems as if when it is warmed up the gaskets seal better.

yea my turbo is smoking internally very little, I didn't think it would smoke externally from that.
