Porsche oil usage
Should I be concerned that the oil usage in my recently purchased 15k mile 57 reg Cayman S is over the manufacturers limit of 1.5 litres per 1000km (actually 1.5l per 773 km). There is quite significant blue smoke on start up.

Yes, that's too much. If you bought it from a dealer it's unacceptable so demand either that it is fixed (which would mean a new engine) or they give you your money back.
