This sounds like a few possibilities

1. Head gasket leak so it would smoke briefly till fluid is burned of or expelled on exhaust stroke. Does tail pipe fumes smell sickly sweet?

2. High pressure fuel pump (if equiped) leaking oil through pump diaphragm. Unlikely but possible...

3. Valve stem oil seals going bad/ valve guides worn out. Drips oil onto valve and into cylinder burning off on start up.
