From doing research The turbos were rebuilt maybe 10k miles ago
It did not do this until AFTER the oil change. BUT it took 1+k miles for it to show up after the oil change. The oil level is good and the filter is correct.

I had a similiar smoke show after my oil change and driven about 800 miles. I went and bought an OEM engine filter and had and oil changed again by another Porsche Mastech who is more familiar with 993s and the problem went away. So do you know what oil filters were used (especially the engine filter)....
Kevin, do you remember this? I didn't sleep for a week and eventually upgraded my turbo to Kevin's GT1 set and only use Porsche OEM oil filter and always proper shut down.
Good Luck.
BTW, my smoke started o usually on one side (I can't remember which side), Kevin probably remembers... he knows a lot
