V70XC: White smoke when starting the car V70-XC70 1998

Every time I start my car, I have a thick, white cloud of smoke with burning smell (more in cold start). I had taken it to 3 different dealerships in my area, they acknowledged the problem but could not find the cause of it. The last dealership I went to told me that we did not drive the car hard enough since it has the turbo charger. I took the car on the highway for the past 2 weeks and try to accelerate hard on it but have not noticed any improvement. BTW, the car does not consume oil but I have noticed that the auxiliary fan comes up often.
What would be the possible cause and is it a serious problem?
