White/blue smoke at startup is normal for flat/boxer engines - because the pistons are horizontal oil can seep past the piston rings when parked. Typically you will see it if the car was parked for more than a day or two, or if you park it on a hill. It shouldn't be huge amounts of smoke, just a few seconds worth.
