2000 Boxster Blue Smoke

I have a 2000 Boxster (Tiptronic) with 80k miles on it. When I start the car, I often get a puff of smoke. I read that this is common, but can also be an indicator of the oil separator needing to be changed. I also get an insane amount of smoke if I rev the engine high (6-7k rpm). There IS suction from the oil filler tube. Getting a compression test done when I have the oil separator changed. What should the compression read? Any other ideas as to what might be wrong?

Do a search on this. They all smoke when they first start, totally normal.

Getting smoke at 6-7k is signs of an oil seperator. I'm not sure on compression numbers but they should all be close to one another. With in say 5%. If you get 200psi in one cylinder they shoudl all be 195-205 kinda deal. If you have one at 60psi or something like that then you have a burnt up or scuffed piston ring.
