white smoke

[john.conley]

took oil filler off while engine running and no vacume,the white smoke only comes after at least 10 to 15 seconds after start up then no sign of it once engine has warmed up! all very strange,may be I should renew oil seperator and see if this cures the problem..

fairly common attribute of our motor it seems and likely the number one occurrence that brings people to this forum, Welcome!

My 06 Boxster S has burnt oil smell, puff out white smoke, whinning with high speed, windscreen rattling, IMS may blow up anytime. And loving very minutes of it.

I guess it all normal.

It is normal for oil to puddle in the Flat Six and it can lead to that initial smoking issue.

When you smoke driving down the road doing 40mph, then it's the AOS.....or worse!

Some smoke at start up!? Uh oh, that's a sure sign your engine is about to 'plode.' The only known cure is to replace it with an LS1.


You know you've been here awhile when you've seen at least a 100 white smoke threads.
