Turbo seals gone bad. A somewhat common issue.

What I have noticed a couple times if I start the vehicle to move it from one side of the driveway to the other or to the street, dont let it get to temp, shut it off and start it shortly after I get a bit of smoke. Curious if it is just burning off some oil since I didn't let it get to temp. Or, if its another issue I need to have Ford look at.

Yeah that’s not normal.
