OMP and smoking on startup.

If been searching on the OMP and it's operating characteristics, but I seem to be missing something.. And I think it's related to my car's strange smoking habits.

I drive 1 mile to work. It's on a Aif Force Base. 30 miles an hour, VERY minimal boosting. I work 8 hours, get off and start my car. It smokes (oil) for like 30 seconds until it starts warming up. After that, it doesn't smoke. This is the only time it smokes to this degree. It usually only lets out a little white puff of smoke when I start up...

I know burning oil is normal, but does the OMP add more oil under light driving? That doesn't seem to make sense but seems to be that cold startup after light driving = more smoke. If I cold start the car after more aggressive driving, the smoke isn't there...

Any ideas?

I'm not sure if you have a problem or not. I would be more worried if there was NO smoke

Yeah... I think I'm okay... Just kinda funny how it only smokes bad when I leave work in the afternoon. Thought it might be from the easy 1 mile drive to work building up oil somewhere... Thanks!
