Jamesp,

My car is a 2002 Base model Boxster, 5 speed manual. I could see the smoke coming from side vents after I stopped. You're right the car still has the odor of something burnt. This was a couple hours ago.

I didn't notice the brakes getting spongy during the event but I can check now if that makes any sense?

Should I start the engine and see if the brakes feels differently?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Did your brakes get spongy (thinking clutch slave cylinder leak here). I've been through a few clutches and they warned me by slipping a bit in higher gears (second gear a favorite) under load and then catching again as the load was reduced.
