[W126 Coupe] smoke on start up?

Re: [W126 Coupe] smoke on start up?I'd like to make a rather rare addition:

White smoke = water (cracked block / cylinder head - God forbid!)

  Hi Richard,

  I've gotten a puff of black smoke
  out of the tailpipe when I cold (or cool) start the car...


  Well today when I cold started it I
  noticed the smoke looked like it might have been bluish...

  My rule of thumb:

  Black = Rich / Gas

  Blue = Oil.... What Valve guides/ seals.... 

  Just my 2 cents
