Blue Smoke Screen while driving?
I picked up my 02 Boxster S in August last year and just brought it out of storage earlier this month (yay!). I haven't noticed burning oil at start up, but occasionally lay down an impressive blue smoke screen while driving. I've normally seen this when I've got it out on the highway, usually when I get it up to 4th gear.
My apologies if this is a topic with a lot of information available. I've searched, but most of what I can find about burning oil with these cars has to do with start up. Does this sound like an AOS issue? Possible RMS? My driving style? :) |
AOS.
while idling, remove oil cap and see if there is a good bit of suction. I noticed especially bad on hard accelerating left hand turns. M |

Sounds like oil if its blue. Porsche engine have a tendency to burn a little on startup, but revving it on the freeway it shouldn't. AOS would be a good thing to check first.
How many miles? Any loss of power? If not the AOS I would check compression to make sure you don't have a bad piston ring. |

Having said that, check your pump... check your AOS and most of all make sure you clean your crossover hose and intake pipes out really good as the oil tends to sit in there for a long time... sometimes the little openings/passages for the oil extractor pumps gets plugged up and slows the flow for the pump. Anyhow that would be were I would start after you check your AOS (while the engine idles try taking the oil cap off - if it comes of easy the AOS is likely not damaged as the diaphragm is still sealed... if it comes off hard (lots of vacuum) then you're AOS is probably pooched)... if it isn't the AOS check the pump... (make sure the right side pump has numbers 1-2-3 facing the block... the left side pump on the front will have 4-5-6 on the block side) :) H |
