Tried a search, could't find a topic on this.

So I parked my '00 986 yesterday, (on a hill), at around 17:00 o'clock and drove it to work this morning at 07:45 o'clock.

I noticed in my right mirror - darkish smoke coming from the exhaust and floating by the front of the car and dissapearing again. The smoke was produced as I turned the engine over, and didn't continue. Only for like a couple of seconds.

I never saw exhaust smoke from my car earlier. The temperature has dropped from around 20C to around 15C but should really impact that much?

Any tips on why it suddenly produced smoke when turning over the enigne? Could it be as trivial as starting on an hill? I know it sounds stupid, on probably is(!), but that is the only different factor than the usual morning startup on a flat surface..

All help is much appreciated.
