Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Leading evidence: 'Run oil at the half way mark' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'aos....even' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Fill oil' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

Suspected cause
5 minutes of continued smoke is excessive and I would suspect a bad aos....even when I had scored cylinders the car would stop smoking after 20 seconds or so.

Suggestion
If you fill oil to the top bar the AOS has to work extra hard on the track.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

While towing to the track this weekend the Douche Canoe (Cayenne) hit 118K miles. The 996 also has 118K miles.
Now I'm just going to drive each one 10 miles at a time some they always have the same mileage.
Of course the track car rewarded me with a blown AOS (which only has 1600 miles on it) and continued low oil pressure in the turns after 10 minutes of driving.
I think driving it on the track is what the AOS does not like. Lots of the cars at the track have a puff of smoke at start-up. Most of them just keep going.
Since I'm still gun shy from blowing the motor in October, I'm not willing to take the chance of continuing to track it with a bad AOS.
I've done lots of track events in many different 996 Carreras. Some had puff of smoke, some didn't. I wouldn't conclude that's the AOS off hand, though please do keep us updated as to what's going on!
It wasn't just a puff on smoke, it was a puff of smoke that did not clear up for 5 minutes (more throttle increased the smoke) it did eventually clear up.
I pulled the throttle body and plenum, and there was a good amount of oil there. So I am fairly confident it is the AOS.
my car hasn't smoked 1 bit the last 2 track days I've done. 1st track day I ran the oIL at the half way mark. 2nd track day I ran it 2 bars down from the top.
5 minutes of continued smoke is excessive and I would suspect a bad aos....even when I had scored cylinders the car would stop smoking after 20 seconds or so.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
