If one puff on start-up, probably a turbo gasket leak

My 2000 9-3 had this problem while still under warranty. There would be one puff of smoke each time I started the engine after it had sat for a while. The diagnosis was a small leak in the turbo gasket that allowed a drop or two of oil to seep out and then burn off as the smoke the next time I started the engine. It was never enough oil to cause me to have to add oil to the engine between oil changes, but might have become worse over time. Since the gasket could not be replaced by itself, Saab replaced the whole turbo under warranty.
