991.2 GTS - Smoke on start up and disappointing service.

I have owned my 991.2 GTS for around 11 months. Recently noticed the car starting to consume oil, oil level low warning appeared about 8 weeks ago. Topped the oil up, re-appeared a couple of weeks ago. Also get a large plume of smoke on start up if the car is left a few days. Bit the bullet and took the car into my local OPC about 2 weeks ago. Haven't heard anything since so rang them today. Still not looked into the issue and there apparently looking for free slot over the coming weeks.

Must admit that the whole ownership experience is not the best. Had a road trip planned into Germany and Austria at the end of this month which I am now going to cancel. Car is still under warranty but for whatever reason the dealer doesn't seem overly keen to prioritise looking into the vehicle issue. Doing my own research appears to point at an issue with either the oil feed pipes or the turbo's. Cannot imagine that's going to be either quick or cheap to fix. So at the moment I am paying for a car which I don't have access too and I have no real timescales on when the car will even be looked at.
