I fired up my 914, and let it idle in the drive way for a while, and noticed that small dots of black stuff (looks like oil splatter) seem to come out and stain the concrete. These aren't liquid at all, but are a black powdery soot.
Is it normal to have these black soot marks? Do you think this is because my car has sat for some time? |

Not to high jack this thread... but...
When I cold start my dual webber it generally takes a couple times to get her started and running smooth. I can generally find a little soot on the gagarge floor right after it starts, but none after it warms up. I just figured, that possibly due to my poor starting talent, a little soot is to be expected on an overnight cold engine. Am I way off? |
