Default White smoke on startup

Just noticed my car is puffing white smoke on startup (since my service last Thursday). Is it something to do with the synthetic oil S-Technic has used (overfull)??

Haven't had this issue before and tbh it's a bit worrying, especially on a car that's done 13,000km's.

Any ideas?

Have you checked the level?
Oil in intercooler?

Luckily it's still under warranty!

1) Doug isn't there
2) They don't know what's wrong and I need to drive all the way to Maddington to get it checked (From Fremantle)
3) I'm not experienced enough to know if the issue is serious or not, so turned to Perth-WRX members to see if anybody else had experienced these issues and that I was justified worrying.
