Default Oil in exhaust

I just bought this car here a few days ago. It's a 03 with a Procharger C2 fitted. I noticed within 20 minutes of leaving the dealer that the exhaust was slightly smoking.. looking closer i see that there was some oil burning out the tips.. After driving about 3 hours from this point, no more oil.. no more smoke..

could this be from sitting up or somethin? i do know that this procharger did not come with the tuner kit... (excuse my lack of verbage as I know **** about aftermarket mods and such).. maybe since I dont have the ability to "tune" this it's running rich? Any ideas? I have no clue... any advice is appreciated.


thanks...

I would say it's just been sitting there, any maybe only run to move around the dealer lot. You probably burned off anything in there. I wouldn't worry too much unless it continues or gets worse.

I believe you'll be fine if the oil is no longer present now or in the future. happy driving.

Just check the oil level often for a while to make sure there isn't a problem.
