I have a 2002 Boxster S with 28k miles on it. I've had it about a year. I noticed lately when I go out of town and/or it sits for about a week or so, I get a moderate puff of white smoke when it starts. And that's it. It doesn't keep smoking, and it doesn't do it when starting the next day or two days after that. Only when it sites for over a week.

I've seen videos of a failed AOS where the smoke just pours out and keeps pouring out. It's not doing that. It is not my intention that it be a garage queen. I just don't have a need to drive on a daily basis and I frequently go out of town for work for a week or even a month at a time.

Is this initial puff a sign that my AOS is starting to fail? Or just normal for a car that sits.
