Hi
I had a serious smoke problem on my 997 TT recently. When i used to leave the car overnight, When I used to start the car up in the morning, it used to have smoke coming out of the right hand exhaust. The exhaust would carry on smoking until the engine had warmed up properly. When I spoke ti Porsche, they initiaslly said this was normal, but it didn't feel right, so when I asked the service centre to check it they found oil in one of the turbos. They asked Porsche for a press car, and compared the turbos in that to mine, and found the turbos on the press car to be dry, so they replaced the turbo on my car. The car had just over 1,000 miles on the clock.
The car stopped smoking when the engine reached running temperature. Now the turbo's replaced, I havent noticed any problems yet, and the car si working perfectly

I have just put my 997TT back into Porsche as it started smoking again from the right hand exhaust pipe.
They pulled off one of the pipes and 150ml of came out they reckon, They're really not sure whats causing this problem, but there's a lot of smoke coming out of the car until it reaches about 90 degrees running temperature.
Hopefully I will get some more info tomorrow. There's only 3000km on the clock, and they've just replaced the turbo, so there has to be leak somewhere that they aren't seeing
