puff of smoke upon startup?
the RDX is my wifes daily driver...and she was pulling out of the driveway yesterday (sunday, so the car was sitting since friday) and when she started it, there was a puff of smoke which smelled like oil (it was slightly blue).
has anyone else had this? the car has 15k miles on it. im thinking about taking it in, but i want to see if i can repeat the symptom. i realize this is a turbo'd car (i had a modded STi before) and it is pretty common from them, but it was the first time i noticed- caught me off guard, i guess.

as long as the smoke doesnt persist while the car is running (in my RDX, it wasnt, it was just upon startup), usually the smoke that is burnt off during startup is oil or gunk sitting on the pistons.
bad seals on the turbo usually leaves a cloud of smoke while driving...
