Default Oil smell

Hi everyone,

Just joined this forum, I have just purchased a 718 GTS boxster and now ( 3 weeks later) I have noticed an oil burning type of smell when I get out of the car after a drive, no oil on floor and oil level seems to be fine,

The car is 11 months old with 5500 miles on the clock

Any ideas on what this might be?
thanks in advance

Ray

Welcome to the forums Ray, the smell is fairly normal for a new Porsche. Just off gassing and breaking in of the car.

Lots of great info on the 718 Forums....should check it out.
