White Smoke
Hi Team Speeders,
Whenever I start my 2010 GT3 I notice a puff of white smoke getting out from the exhaust for less than 5 seconds then it disappears. It happens for the first start of the day. I used to drive the car once a week but I've been driving it now for 3 days in a row and still I saw it today morning. The car has 3000 KM in it.
Is this normal?
Thanks.

It's normal.
On a flat engine, since the cylinders are sitting horizontally, the oil doesn't drain down into the bottom of the engine when you shut it down. So, when you fire it up, the piston/pistons on their exhaust stroke will push a little bit out of the exhaust.
Nothing to be worried about.
