Arrow New oil smoke description

I know I have started a lot of threads about my blue smoke problems. Well, I finally have a cycle of exactly what is happening:

Every morning when I start the car, there is a very light amount of oil smoke. After driving for about a minute or two, oil smoke starts coming out the tailpipe like crazy. It does this for about a minute then just stops then never comes back for the rest of the day until the next morning.

WTF is up with that? My engine is a Mazda reman. with about 4k on it. Do you think oil is pooling up somehow then burning off, then pooling up overnight again or something? Please hel p me!1211!!

What colour is your smoke? If it is white, then it is just condensation.

my turbos have blown oil seals and my smoke is white, b/c it is so much oil and it is not really burning it.
