Started my 1974 911 today after sitting for several months while away. Car started fine but I noticed oil leaking from passenger side of exhaust and white smoke. That cleared up after running for about twenty minutes. Never a problem when driving often. No idea what to look at first...

White smoke usually means coolant. Check for a coolant leak near where you saw the smoke. Check you coolant level.

OP, you may have too much oil in the car, after she is warm check the oil level on level ground and while she is idling.

Sounds like normal oil leakage past piston rings due to long period sitting.
Did it smoke again after starting a second time? |
