Since I am usually sitting in my car when I start it I did know if it smokes. Well I do know there is no BIG cloud going out the back. My old Chevy van used to this. So I just checked the SVX. It's been sitting for about 36 hours. I started the SVX and got out to the back. Tail pipe exhaust is clean. No smoke at start-up. That is a nice thing about the boxer engine. I am sure the valve seals are gone all dried out and cracked. The leaking valve stems are usually the path for oil into the engine at start-up. Espisically after the engine sits. With the boxer design the oil can't run done the valve stem and drip into the engine cause the valves are horizontal. Much bigger problem on the upright engines. So any other thoughts on this? Maybe it is just valve stem oil leakage? Thanks John
