Default white smoke coming out

hey folks,

just a quick question

when i started MY03 up i noticed some white smoke coming out

i have an md321t only done 1500 miles but has seen a couple of trackdays

could this be some sort of excessive oil (i recently suffered uppipe gasket failure)
and had to drive to the garage to get fiixed (could this of caused a problem)

it still boosts fine and still holds and im hoping its nothing to worry about but thought i should ask anyway

cheers

steve

is it just on start up or all the time?

if only on cold start up and white smoke (as long as not huge clouds) then it will just be condensation in the exaust and nothign to worry about

snaps- doesn't sound like a problem. My car sits idle for weeks at a time when I'm really busy with work and it looks real bad on start up but soon dissapears- just condensation
