911 Oil Burn

My recently acquired 1980 SC runs strong and fast. Last week I was at a stop light and suddenly the RPM went down to about 400 and I started blowing burnt oil out the tailpipe. I mean thick billowing white/blue smoke. After the light turned, it cleared up after about 30 seconds. It happened again the next day, but only once. Clearly a bunch of oil dumped in (the intake??) all at once.

Other than my hot-start problem (different issue, I think), this thing runs well. Any ideas? Thanks
Tim

You might get better response from the 911 forum. That said, I would check the oil level and air restiction, breather. Everything with air and fuel. If you have the capability do a leakdown test as well.
regarding the hard start when warm or hot, this usually occurs due to a check valve not holding residual pressure on the system and vaporized the fuel around the injectors. Check valve is up front with the fuel pump if memory serves me.
good luck,
rusty
ps: SCs are nice drivers and very reliable
