Unhappy Turbos Blowing Smoke!

My car wasn't started for around 1-2 weeks..
On startup it fired up first time as usuall.
Once It had warmed up I drove it off boost to the servo etc.. About 1kms away..

Pulling out from the servo I gave it a bit through first to get out in front of some traffic..

Looking in my revision mirror all I could see was white smoke...

I Waited at the traffic lights.. Turned right and nailed it properly this time through first, second, and third... up to 140+ clicks.. But nothing I didn't see a puff of smoke.. It was only the first time I put my foot in to it a little....

I quized the car yard joint from whom i purchased the car from and they said..

"Yer they tend to do that after they havn't been started for a while coz there are oil seals in the turbo and when a car hasn't been driven for a while the oil can leak in to the turbo?!?!?

Is this correct? Or is my turbo slowly going?

Aftersales warranty =

thats pretty normal. When things sit oil seeps into other places and will cause that.
Normally if your turbo seals are gone you will see blue smoke.

I once went for a test drive in a Skyline (was sitting in the yard for a few weeks) and I noticed a heap of white smoke as well. The dealer says most of them do it........

Cheers
