Black soot in exhaust, smoke, oil in delivery pipe.

I just wanted to throw this out and see if anyone is having or has had a similar problem.
I have a 2001 Saab 9-3 Base (2.0 Turbo) and it has a few symptoms. The most noticeable is at startup I get a good size puff of smoke. It is a black color and is only at cold start, warm- no smoke, hard acceleration-no smoke. In addition to that there is a thick coat of black soot around and in the exhaust pipe. I read a few threads on here about this possible being a turbo seal going but the car only has 65,000. On another note I investigated further by removing the delivery pipe from the throttle body. In inspection the throttle body is completely clean but there is a thin coat of oil inside the delivery pipe. As far as the cars performance it is unaffected in any way. It is very strange. Please help.
