audi 80 tdi

hello, I am new to the site even though i am on my 8th audi 80!!
I have just bought a TDI, which although it is imaculate, I have noticed one small problem. On setting off it smokes like mad in first and partially in second, all other gears are fine and performance is spot on if a little flat in the gears when it smokes, there are no obvious oil leaks and it has a good history. Just wondered if anyone knew what it could be?? I have a feeling it is stem seals, piston rings or the turbo, but before i start dismanting the engine just wondered if there was another explaination. Any help would be appriciated
Thanks
Rob
