I need some help with that.
When i turn the ignition on , i see white smoke from the excaust for less than a second and i have a smell of burning oil.
Any help plz

Friend had white smoke on his diesel trooper, turned out that one of the glowplugs was knackered and thus it was spitting out unburnt diesel. Blue smoke would be oil, so perhaps you're not burning your fuel properly?

Hmm, fuel would be black, white is usually steam, i.e water?

Head gasket?

just condensation in the exhasut, is it uprated?

I use a GGR full excaust system for about 3 years. I ask a subaru dealer here in Greece and he said that is moist.
But for the last two days the the problem is increasing its like a smoke grenade from behind the car.

I may be wrong, my memory aint what it used to be and im only 30.......

White smoke - possibly brake fluid contamination. Check servo vacuum system.

As i said, may be wrong

I had this white smoke on startup problem a few months back. It started straight after a service and was cause by having a bit too much oil in the engine. I took it back to the garage and the oil level was corrected and the problem went away immediately. The mechanic was familiar with this problem on Porsches as well.
It's caused by oil seeping into places 'it shouldn't' (I'm not a mechanic...) while the car is standing overnight for example and despite what you may think the smoke is not blue, but white.

That sounds interesting, because the oil is not being completely burnt it is white. Never heard of that before. I have only diagnosed that with head gasket or water in the combustion process.

It is most likely to be too much pressure in the block due to over filling, which is allowing coolant into the combustion chamber.

Do you have and an aftermarket blow off valve fitted?(Âáëâéäá áíáêïõöéóçò).If yes, what kind? Maybe, the B.O.V is drawing oil out of the turbo(check the bov hosing), consider a BOV swap.
Also, is your car fitted with an aftermarket oilcooler?

I'd be with Scoobysnacks on this one, my old Porsche used to do exactly the same thing when I overfilled the oil (easy thing to do on a porsche). The smoke is only white because the engine is too cold to burn the oil on startup, it'll probably turn blue when the engine is hot (it's not so easy to see blue smoke though so get a mate to watch it while you rev the engine)
