Thank you all for feedback. I go for your advice Loren. I'll let you know what the verdict is.

I'm starting to suspect that there might be 2 isolated problems here, one the cylinder that burs oil, and second the AOS ??

The plug indicates burning oil, but there seems to be indications of problems with the AOS also.

I tried to loosen the oil cap while motor was running, and had to use a substantial amount of force, and when turning it gasped for air ?? RPM was rising when open.

Could this be connecting problems, or ??

Good news I hope. no sign of oil in coolant or vs. Motor still purring like a cat, and there are no smoke while driving. No sign of steam from the coolant bottle !!???

This morning the car startet fine with no smoke !!

Comments ?

Traces of coolant in oil, or oil in coolant? How do I find out ??

I have NOT seen any smoke while driving. I have not registered any consumption of coolant fluid.

Now I worry!! The smoke is back, motor still runs great, but a puff of white smoke from right exhaust at start-up. After a few seconds the smoke is gone!!

I will have a Porsche race mechanic look at the car next week, but ....any ideas?

By the way thanks for your replies.

I will get a second opinion!! The car runs great, after I got new spark plugs and coils the smoke has disappeared !! It smoked when it was cold for 3-5 seconds.

I think/hope it was the cracked coil that caused the plug to fail. It started immediately after I washed the car. Water on a cracked coil might be a problem.

I had my 01 996 c4 tip in for service today 40k kilometers. I had no issues really, but a small amount of white smoke at start-up occurs. The smoke first occurred after the car was washed earlier this year.

I picked the car up this evening, and they told me that the coils were cracked and replaced. The sparkplug on cyl. 2 where "muddy" which indicated broken cylinder wall !!?? Nothing they could do. Drive and change the engine sometime in the future, kiss and good bye.

Any advice from you guys ??

They don't work ?? Any suggestions ??
