Smile smoke when starting a 911 Targa

Bonjour,

Just move to Switzerland from US and facing already a small challenge. My car was transported for 2 months (US to Switzerland). When getting it, no problem at start until today (one day after). When starting the car (911 Targa), I have some bleu smoke for few second and then normal ...
What could it be? 3 way valve between the dry sump of the car?

Look forw2ard for any advise or just run for some time and it will be back to normal.

Thanks
Alex

Hi Alex, That appears to be normal after starting your car after a few months of non-use . I have an '07 Targa which I store for the winter months. The same thing happens to me.. after staring the car, I never see any more smoke.. I wouldn't worry unless you start to see smoke every time you start the car.. Enjoy the roads of Switzerland..

Many thanks ... Was again travelling ... It seems right since the car is not smoking any more.
