tiny bits of smoke coming out of exhaust manifold heat sheild when cold

[thehyena]

ok, so here's my first question on my tsi. The car runs beutifully but i was under the hood today and noticed that when the car is cold little puffs of smoke come out of the hole in the lower heat sheild right by the turbo. what should i do and is this all that serious?

I love my GReddy TT, and they are fairly cheap. After you run your car a while before you shut her off let it run a while to cool everything down.

is the smoke coming from a crack on the exhaust manifold? 1gs got the cracking manifolds....
