White Smoke @ start - 2 Conflicting advice???

All,
As I had in one of my earlier posts, I had white smoke come out of the exhaust in the morning at start. It is there for ~5 mins or so... and then the car warms up and it dissapears. I am not losing coolant but I believe I am losing oil as I could see it go down.
Took it to one Saab Mechanic: He said it is probably the HG or the valve seals and to open that up and fix it, aorund 2K will be the cost.
Took it to another mechanis: He sad, it is the turbo and that needs to be replaced.
I cannot understand why it might be the turbo. The smoke does not appear while driving or even if the car is idle for 10 min... That leads me to believe its probably the valve seal that is allowing the oil to seep in through the night and it is burned in the morning. Then why does it not happen during driving, as in why doesnt oil seep in through the valve seal during driving. I dont think it is the complete HG as I am not losing coolant.
any ideas/tips/suggestions or previous experiences ??
thanks,
sachin
