Default Heavy smoke intermittent on 99 GST Eclipse

HELP NEEDED....... Whats going on???? 160,000 miles owned since new..... Not using much oil, but when I idle or around town in very hot weather especially... It blows smoke so bad I get people pulling along side... Then 5 minutes later when I open up it usually stops.... Is that a turbo going or??? ALSO.... starting to be harder to start , kind of like its flooded, but after a few tries starts and runs fine....
Any suggestion on best place to have it fully checked over to diagnose if need be...

NEED ANSWER ASAP AS MY MAIN FORM OF TRANSPORTATION, Thanks, Edster

remember, white-gray smoke isnt caused by burning oil.
