Oil Separator and Oil Level Indicator

After a very very heavy day of driving (if you are an OPC it wasn't a trackday honest), I was getting a small cloud on startup inbetween sessions, also I lost about 1 ltr of Mobil 1. So I took the car into my OPC for a check-up and they advised that the oil separator had gone and replaced it for me under warranty (thank god at it is a 570 quid job). After a very fast drive home at the weekend, when I put the ignition on I noticed that the oil gauge was showing that the oil was low (below the mark), so I did the double check with the dipstick and all was fine, but then on startup I got my smoke back. This is not the that 'normal for Porsches smoke' we are talking big time smoke, and it only happens when I take my fast A-road way home and not the police infested motorway.

My questions are:

1. Has anyone else experienced similar problems with the oil separator, and problems after fitment of a new one?
2. Has anyone else experienced the oil level indicator lying?

Thanks

James
 
I once had problems with the oil level indicator for a couple of days. It consistently was reading low when there was plenty of oil on the dipstick. OPC checked it out and it was "OK when we tried it".
It hasn't happened again.
