Smoking exhaust question

[Mr Lucky]

My boxster S smokes quite a bit when started from cold. Could someone tell me that it is quite normal and not to worry. I have had the car about a month or so now, have not posted much, been out .....driving......yeah baby......

Perfectly normal, now get the roof down and enjoy

[Mr Lucky]

Yes sir - will do and thanks...

Mine doesn't, but I read they can do, because of the flat 6 configuration.

Essentially oil seaps past the piston rings into the cylinders. Hence you may see a puff of blue smoke at startup with the classic burining oil smell. It should disappear very quickly (a couple of seconds). If that's what you have, it's probably fine.

They all do that, Sir!

You should be worried once your car doesn't smoke anymore. Thing is that with the roof down you realise much easier that this is happening.
