I have a 2002 c2. I just hit 51,000 miles today. When i started it up today, i got a cloud of white smoke out of the tailpipes. The car runs fine. There are no unusual noises, and no engine codes. I checked the oil and the coolant and both are fine. After a the engine warms up for a few minutes there is no smoke. Has anyone else encountered this? Any ideas what might be causing this?

HI There....

This is normal for many P cars. Usually more likely to happen after sitting for a while. Happens on 997's too. If you drive aggressively, let it idle for a few moments before turning off the engine and you will

be less likely to get the puff. Either way...Probably nothing to worry about.

Enjoy!

Thank you. That is quite a relief. I was pretty worried about it.

Is it a "cloud" of smoke or a "puff"?

If it is a thick white cloud that kills all insects in a 100 yard radius it may be your AOS. It also could be an oil "overfill" if you have recently changed your oil.
