I know a GT3 is supposed to smoke, but this?
I have just got this 997.1 GT3 with 45000 miles - This is too much blue smoke, right?
Facts:
The car is shut off after 2 minutes of idle and is sitting on a level floor
Does this every time it has been sitting overnight.
Only smoke on start up and stops smoking after 5-10 seconds
Have no ide of oil consumption
The smoke is blue and smells like burned oil.
Can´t ask previous owner
What do you think ?

The beginning looks pretty normal to me. Does it keep smoking as your video was too short to see when the smoke subsided?

Does it smoke like that if you have taken the car for a long drive (say 20-30 minutes) then put it away overnight? I think that it may be that the two minute run doesn't give everything time to expand to full operating shape. Mine will only smoke like that if I do a short run like you described.

both our prior 997S and now '07 GT3 will smoke upon start up, esp if the car was cold, started, run a few seconds and shut down, or shut off immediately after a hard hot run. Or sat without running for a period of time. Something about oil seeping past the rings and accumulating in the cylinders, and then burned off at ignition. Sometimes it is quite impressive. But it quickly resolves in a few seconds. I just think it is a characteristic of these engines

Mine rarely smokes but when it does it sets off the smoke alarm in the garage.
