I have owned my Boxster for less than a year. The car has roughly 30000 miles on it
Oil and genuine filter change every 3000 miles with Mobil 0-40
Car is completely stock, always warmed up before rev over 4k rpm, never rev past redline and cooled proprely.
Symptoms of my 2003 2.7 Boxster Tip (In chronological order)
1. Rough idle, higher than normal engine rev at idle
2. Huge amount of Continuous, Steamy White smoke from exhaust while driving (like smoke grenade)
2. No overheat after limping 6 miles home, coolant stayed around 82-3 C, No CELs
3. Loss of 0.5 L engine oil
4. No engine oil or coolant on the garage floor
5. Loss of power with some occasional ticking sound. Thanks
I sincerely hope that it is AOS. I did a search on AOS last night and spent an hour or so reading it.
My car did not throw a single CEL light. And it does not only smoke during start up. Instead, it is smoking almost most of the time except when the car was on the highway doing over 60mph. As soon as the car had to be slowed down at a junction, the smoke became awfully large and alarming.
To be honest, engine oil was filled up a touch too much. Now, the electronic oil measurement on the dash is showing 1 box less than full.
Any ideas guys? I plan to open up the engine the cover tonight when I get home and see if the throttle bodies and the hoses involved are full of oil.
One more thing, due to the local temp here can reach as high as 35deg, I poured in 6 quarts of Mobil 1 0-40 and 4 quarts of 15-50. Will this be the problem?
Please help to diagnose the potential problem as it doesnt look like a AOS.

ld: I dont use Acronyms or Initials to describe bits on a car. But I was infact describing the AOS system.
