Could be burning oil or coolant. Does the smoke look bluish or is it white and hangs in the air for a while?? Could just be that its cold and you see the smoke.

Very possible bad oil control rings. It means the engine is tired and in need of a rebuild.

I second that.. oil leaks through until the seals expand from the heat, then stops smoking...
