Puff of smoke

[DavesNotHereMan]

Guys:
This is on my 2011 GTI 155 LTD.

My machine sets on a jet port for a week between rides. When I start it up, I get a puff of blue oil smoke. I get no smoke that I can see while riding and none when I start it up after a shutdown during the ride.

It has Amsoil in it. The ski now has 117 hrs.

Anything to be concerned about?

Thanx

How full is your oil? Which amsoil? Definitely not normal.

Oil is between the 2 bends on the dipstick. Closer to the top. Amsoil is from PO. I need to check the service slip, but if I recall, it is 10w-40 marine.

You can try taking some oil out so it is at the bottom of the dipstick for testing but it doesn't sound like that is the issue. Have you done a leak down test? Or at least a compression test? It sounds like oil is leaking into the cylinders after it is shut off.

I have not performed any of those tests. It runs fine, otherwise, so I did not suspect compression. I agree it sounds like a small leak after shutdown. It reminds me of automotive valve seal leakage.

The oil itself looks brand new. I will pump a little out of there to get it closer to the bottom of the range.
