I seem to have clouds of white smoke at startup. Noticeable when remote startups. Anyone have an idea of what the issue could be? It occurred in the heat in summer as well. I had the coolants and oil checked no leaks. 2021 ST. Attaching vid for reference.

That sounds like the turbo seals are going bad. Can’t see any video but that definitely sounds like that problem.

White smoke - burning coolant
Blue smoke - burning oil
Black smoke - fuel (running rich). Not much of an issues these days.
