Take the oil cap off, if the little rubber part on the bottom of the cap is too hard it can cause a oil leak. I know I just dealt with it this week.

i was wondering could it be the the excess oil that spilled onto the turbo
Most likely the oil is just burning off from where ever it splashed.
If it doesn't stop within a few days I'd start to worry. Just frequently check your oil until then.

Thanks guys, whats more strange is that the smoke only comes out while the car is still cold, once its warmed up and driven for a couple of miles, the smoke goes away. But i will keep an eye out for the smoke, since this is only the 3rd day since the fix.
