One puff of smoke on engine start

I just wanted to give everyone a follow up on this issue since several people had mentioned it over the last year.
Starting at around 17,000 miles, my 2000 9-3 base started emitting one puff of smoke from the tailpipe every time I started the engine. One puff, no more, no less.
Since I did not seem to be losing any noticeable amounts of oil and the car was running fine, I just kept an eye on it until I took the car in for its 20,000 mile service. I asked them to investigate and they ended up ordering a new turbo. It seems there was a very small leak around a gasket on the turbo that was allowing about a drop or two of oil to leak around the gasket everytime I turned the engine off. The next time the engine started, the oil would be burned off and emitted as the one puff of smoke. Apparently the gasket could not be replaced without replacing the turbo itself, so they did this under warranty and the problem has not returned.
