I don't know if this is counted as 'smoking'??

So every time I start my car of a morning/ when the engine is cold, a fair bit of petrol smoke comes out of the exhaust but after th car warms up it goes. Is this a turbo seal slash bad turbo? Or no idea? My car is booked in for a service tomorrow so I can get them to check it out anyway.
What do you guys think?

if the turbo seal is gone when it is smoking you will smell a strong burning plastic smell
