not too big of a deal. You didn't happen to stop off at Taco Bell on the test drive did ya' ;-)
I would bet it is a leak somewhere, not that that narrows down the search much. You should DEFINITELY take the car to a PORSCHE shop for a pre-purchase inspection before buying it though. If it was a turbo you can bet he wouldn't be denying it!! I do remember seeing an add somewhere for some gizmo that "simulates" a blow-off valve, pretty comical. Where are you located? I may be unloading a few Porsche's.
