White smoke is unburnt fuel or too much fuel. Ya may need ya injectors cleaned.

Blue smoke is often oil as well.
White can also be water in the fuel.
Is the oil o the dip stick still good?
A coolant pressure check maybe a good idea just to eliminate any problems.

If it only smokes at lights when taking off then its most likely youre valve stem seals.

is it that it only blows smoke at take off or that you only notice it could also be that your turbo is leaking oil

The breather pipe in mine got blocked, and it did strange things for a while, then I cleaned it out, problems went away.

Sounds like a turbo problem to me,no back pressure at idle so seal rings leak.Once engine is working and there is back pressure stopping oil from getting past the turbine end seal ring.
