I have an 01 Boxster S with 67K miles on it. This is my first Porsche and I've only had it about six weeks. Upon cold start, after sitting for a couple of days, I get an initial puff of blue smoke out of the tailpipes and then it goes away completely. During normal operation no smoke at all or odor is present. In the old days I would have said valve guides but in an H motor the oil doesn't really sit on the guides with gravity trying to force the oil down into the combustion chamber.
My question is whether anybody else has this issue? Is it anything to worry about?
Thanks everybody.
