Smoke blowing on start up

Hey, my wife’s 19 Escape with the 1.5 is blowing smoke on start up. It’s not doing it consistently and of course not when I take it to the dealer either but I have plenty of video footage from my Ring cams. I’m thinking the turbo is on its way out even though the useless dealer is saying otherwise. Anybody else have this issue? It’s a dealer maintained vehicle as well and spent 2 months of it’s life at the dealer for a CEL they couldn’t stop from coming on. (Replaced every sensor on it) I’m wondering if there was an underlying issue right off the bat.

My ‘17 started doing this early last year and by June it started leaking coolant into the cyclinders and needed a new engine…I got one CE light before it went completely.
Did you have any misfires during start up?
Yes there was a misfire on one of the cylinders which is what caused the CE light. They decided to replace the injectors then 2 weeks later the engine blew
