Mine smoked in decreasing frequency first 1,000 miles. Now have 3,000 and even after sitting for two weeks no smoke.

Mine never smokes when I drive it everyday. If it sits for more than three days, I get smoke.

I say white smoke but maybe its blue. In either case its not water vapor. Its a hefty cloud of "smoke." From what I have read here and in other posts it definitely sounds normal so not real worries.

I think this is the trend that I'm seeing. Several times over the past couple of weeks I have let a few days pass between drives. I was able to drive it yesterday and again this morning and did not see any smoke, so I would agree that it happens when it sits for a couple of days.

Thanks guys!

Mine smoked yesterday upon starting with just under 200 miles on it. Today, no smoke (just the white condensation vapor). Now at about 280 miles.

Oil sometimes seeps past the horizontal cylinder's piston rings while at rest. This is not likely coming from the valve guides.

Mine still smokes after 5,000 miles. Between track days and smoke fest startups, I regularly top off the oil to get the three green bars. My suggestion - buy a case of Mobil oil.:-)

My experience over several cars is that there is less smoking once the car is broken in; my GT3 has 1,000 miles on it and it is much less frequent. It also seems to after it has been run only a short distance, even if the fluids are fully warmed up, than after it's been run hard for an extended period of time. But as a general rule, all of them do it sometimes - not something to worry about.

Just breathe it in. As Sarah Palen once said while at a Harley Rally -" ummm, I love the smell of gas "

My 2010 GT3 smoked quite a bit. I asked my Porsche dealer tech who worked on my care if something was wrong he said they do this from time to time. It was happening quite a bit so he said they do a drip down test. I traded it back to my dealer for my new 2015 GT3.
So far I have put 1,300 miles on my new GT3 it's never smoked.

Yeah, cuz if you don't breathe it in there's no way you're going to see Russia from Alaska ...

First start at the dealer, pretty big plume like OMG now this ####. Drove it a bit and cleared up. Able to restart an hour later and nothing to speak of. Service manager called some tech line, they said not to worry, it would clam down as we put some miles on it. Engines sat for awhile in shipping and awaiting install.

250 miles later, big puff in the morning (not a plume) when sitting a couple days, smaller puff when driven the next day , but not a plume. Clears out right away when idling. No smoke that I can see coming from the car when driving. Will have to have someone flow me to totally verify.

All else seams beyond break-in smoke seams about normal, except a funky exhaust note on the drivers side at idle. Not very flattering. Can't recall if that is normal. I wonder if it's an exhaust leak. Anyone else hearing that.

Not sure if they swapped the whole unit complete or R&R the exhaust.
