First month of ownership.

I have driven every other sports car from mustangs to vettes and a taste of ferrari. The boxster is honestly the best DD sports for someone who doesn't have great roads and a decent budget as a DIY. Except for three things two of which I really need some help with.

1 not speeding is too hard to do

2 I can't tell if I'm low on coolant or not. I noticed I have condensation on the trunk lid and every once in a while I hear a hiss coming from the cap, but when I take the cap off and the pressure escapes, my coolant goes back between min and max lines. So I can't tell if my cap is bad or not.

3 what can cause oil to drip on my exhaust once I pass 5k rpms. City driving I have no oil smell or smoke, but if I start spirited driving, I start a smokescreen and stop to notice black residue on the exhaust and some smoke.

Other than that, I think my boxster S is a keeper.
