Hi All,
I've searched through the other threads on this topic but couldn't find my specific situation, hence asking again. Sorry if this is a bit dull.
My car, the first Porsche I've owned, is a 2008 997.1 C4S. On first start up of the day it produces a cloud a blue-ish smoke that is enough to fill my driveway and swirl onto the road. It lasts for a second or two only. There is no smoke during driving. After driving, a subsequent start-up will not produce any smoke until the car has been parked for an hour or so. After resting, the smoke appears again.
Oil level is around half-way, so not an overfill. The oil separator was replaced around 2000 miles ago. Seems like it is using oil within the tolerances expected. My service guy says it seems normal and he's not worried, but he is affiliated to the dealer I bought it from so I cannot discount the fact that they simply don't want to fix an issue.
Mechanically, the car seems fine and drives great. Just that the cloud of smoke is really embarrassing.
Anyone had this issue and managed to fix it?
