Nothing like a 911

Oil From Exhaust Pipe
I noticed an odd thing today. After starting my 82 911SC, I backed the car out of the garage and noticed some oil on the wall next to where the exhaust pipe was. A few drops of oil had apparently shot out of the exhaust pipe when I started the car. Funny thing is, the car runs great and does not go through much oil. What could this be from? Should I be alarmed?

Are you sure it wasn't water?

It is likely if the car sit for a few days.
Its just a little oil that gets past the pistons and condensation from the exhaust. It's very common.
