VA smoke on start up

i have a 1989 rx7 n/a. the car will start every time. i just have to give it a little gas. but every time i get a larg amount of white smoke. only for a minit or 2. when the car is already warm the smoke is imediate. and reving it makes the smoke stop right away. but on cold start there is no smoke right away. but befor it warms up it starts to smoke but then stops. and giving it gas dosent clear the smoke like it dose when the car is already warmed. the smoke is white and thick. besides that there is no smoke and the car has no prblem red lining. this started shortly after i replaced the radiator and water pump. could i have a bad coolent seal? is my car on the road of death?
