Smoking Boxster 3.2s 2000

[sheep]

Hi folks okay so my expansion bottle leaked so i do a complete out repair and whilst there i notice a very worn clutch , split rear cv boots x4 and a weeping rear main oil seal , so i thought right i will do the lot so i did.

1st start up was fine no probs then drove 30-40 miles no worries the next day i started her up :ah: SMOKE from the exhaust enough to fill the garage choke me out and set off the fire alarms, the only thing i have done is run the engine with the bypass valve open to remove the air bubbles in the coolant.

Now when she smokes i have no engine light come on and no stored faults or misfires im at a total loss ......................... thnx in advance folks

Hi buddy yep i am pretty sure its steam/water as it doesnt have the usuall gagging oil burning smell and the oil level is bang on , the water level doesnt seemed to have dropped any , i took photos i will upload asap today though they dont show much as on the 3rd startup the amount had dropped considerably.

As for AOS sorry i havent a clue what the AOS is or does , i will do a bit of reading tonight when i get back thnx

@tonycarreon hi m8 thnx yep coolant looks fine no oily slick on top or excessive bubbling , also dipped and no visable oil on the thin piece of wood i dipped into the water m8 thnx
