Hi guys, I'm new here

Just bought a 997.1 GT3 white w/ black rims. Took it out for a few drives and I just love it!!!! But I got a question. I use it as DD, but when it's raining, there's smoke coming out from the front. Is it normal? The car seems totally fine.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome

That's steam.

If it rains you always drive through your own personal fog when going slow and people will tell you taht your engine is steaming when in front of a light...

Normal. So is the blue cloud behind the car at every 3rd startup or so..

Nizer

Radiator vent. Gets hot up front. Totally normal.

Nothing to worry about

P.J.S.

Blown head gaskets.

Mine melts, so I make a point of mowing the lawn as much as possible to cover it inside and out with dirt

P.J.S.

old car back in the day -- no steam at this pace (on cups in that pic), atoms always in the way

You can get the same "smoke" coming from the back if the coolant reservoir cap isn't snugged-down properly.

Congratulations on the new car!

Are you certain it is smoke, not steam? how does the front of the hood feels to the touch?
Steam is OK, smoke is another story

All V8 engines have this issue.
