smoking problem?

[ephidaboost]

I read somewhere that getting a puff of smoke when you start the boxster is nothing to worry about, and it happens because a small amount of oil collects on the heads. Recently I have been getting a little more than a puff and I wanted to show everyone what I was getting and hopefully get some feedback as to weather it is something to worry about.. This is a video of what my emissions look like when starting the car after its been sitting for about 12 hours after a 50-60 degree night. Is this amount of smoke normal? It goes on like that for about 5 minutes, then stops.

White smoke @ start of engine

probably you are talking about this thread. I changed my MAF already and the dealer check the oil separator at the same time and they are okay. It does still smoke once in a while when the temperature goes down at night and same as my other car...
hope this help

Thanks for the link. Reading those threads has put me at peace for now... I guess I'll put off worrying about it until it starts smoking after it's warmed up.

What's funny is that there actually is a street bike (I think it's the new Yamaha, though I may be wrong) that actually DOES have a muffler bearing... It uses a butterfly in the exhaust to have a "two stage" exhaust system, one that's emissions friendly, and one that is "Performance use only.."
