too much smoke

hey guys. i was hoping you could help me out. i drive a 88 RX-7 and every morning when i warm up the engine smoke comes out from the (stock) exhaust. at first a blue smoke from the left exhaust then light grey from the right. it gets really anoying when the engine revs to 1500 rpm. then this huge gust of really thick white smoke comes out for a good couple of seconds. the car runs fine afterward. this only started happening recently. possibly due to the weather reaching 80+ in the SF bay area. so, what can i do and how much will it cost. all advice is appreciated. thanks.

Thats usually a sign that the seals on the engine are starting to fail. More then likely a rebuild is in order.
