Valve seals? Rings? Do I care?


It is not unusual at all for the Boxster to put off an occasional puff of smoke at start up. The smoke is caused by the flat engine design. No big deal.

But, if its a big cloud of smoke (crazy billowing clouds of smoke that mess up the entire neighborhood) then it could be caused by the air/oil separator failing which requires a repair.
