I have been driving the car at around 3-4k rpm lately. Sometimes when stop at the stop sign and then hit the gas, there will be a cloud of white (slightly greyish) smoke come out from the exhaust. Something wrong with the engine?

Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

No clue, but I recall reading a similar post in the past week or so talking about white smoke at low rpms...you may want to search the forum. Hope it helps.
By the way, you should drop the $17 on membership. It is a very informative forum and goes to keeping it available to all of us that need HELP!
Does this happen when you are driving in the morning only? Where do you live? With fall coming, the colder air at night and morning can be the cause of white smoke. Otherwise, keep monitoring your coolant level.
I had a similar problem on start-up and while it ended up not being the actual problem, Porsche strongly suspected a bad oil separator based on the white smoke at startup...
It didn't just happened on start up. I had it happened after a few 4000rpm low gear runs as well. It doesn't do it continuously. It usually just blow a patch of white smoke and no more. Is it normal?
I wonder if oil is sprayed into engine to cool it, thus the smoke you see. I've not had this problem myself.
