Good Day,
C2 1998 190k miles
It's been noticed the last few days a white smoke (kinda blue) coming out from the right ((exhaust)) only! that does only occurs early morning around 1 min when turning on the car or when it is left parked for a long time (five hours or more).
To take in consideration the valve seals Has been changed and head gaskets In less than a year.
I think ( maybe ) this only occur when the type of oil changed To titan supersyn 5w40
I checked the water level and oil level they are normal all the times. Also there is no water showing in the oil.
Your help is appreciated
Best Regards,

I noticed today that when the car is not running, the pedal is absolutely fine. When the car is at idle, the pedal is much, much softer, and almost sinks to the floor when pressed, a very soft feeling.
Something important to say when the car is driven
I feel it is very heavy and increase in engine temperature
Is this because of brake servo ?

Compressor must be replaced
I asked one of the garages specialized in air-conditioning they said we could install Toyota Compressor and will be stronger and better
Is this possible?
Why do you think the Toyota unit would be better? Cause they never break or set a foot wrong?? I'm sure the compressor Porsche uses is a Japanese unit already.
I did not say I think so and I have no experience in such matters
Specialist who told me and I wanted to hear your comments

i changed oil pump
-
Was a long day with specialists
Everyone agreed that the oil pump good and proves this through the oil gauge when driving the car
I was at The official agent for Porsche told me under 1 normal
When the vehicle model 99 is normal to have a slight weakness
Oil pressure gauge now 7 to 6 bar not less When the temperature is about 90c
i Will try 5w50
am sure that the problem is not from oil pump there is another problem somewhere
-
i changed oil pressure sender and oil pressure relief spring with piston nothing changed
any advice ?
-
I did not see oil pressure warning ligh never so far
Yesterday, I left the car about 30 minutes temperature was 92c , 0.7 bar not less
tested while idling it reads at 5000 rpm 3.9 bar
Thanks for the tips i'll let you know soon
-
does this mean oil pump is ok ?
-
it reads on cold startup around 4.8 4.9
it read at 3000 rpm in 5th gear 2.9
i use 0w40 ( my fisrt time )
oil level is ok
When at idle long time pressure drop under 1.0
-
I Use Mobil 1, oil filter new
oil gauge is ok
oil pressure rise more when the engine temperature down to 80 or a little more
and less than 1 when the engine temperature increased as shown in the picture above
What should I do now Do I have to worry about this
I asked some Mechanical Engineers here and they said that it's normal, especially at high engine temperature and oil
