Yeah I agree with rat, the turbo seals are the most likely.
However, years ago I put in a Jap engine and it smoked really bad when I first ran it. Fearing the turbo seals as well, but far to poor to do anything about it I continued using the car. a week, +- 500km, later it just stopped smoking on its own. So never did find out what happened. A radiator failure a couple of years later rendered that engine useless.
