2013 Jaguar xf supercharge smokes after sitting about 8 hrs during cold crank. Does not smoke while driving.

I love Jaguars, but they should be traded in **before** the power train warranty has expired, preferably when the bumper to bumper expires.

Worn out valve seals or worn out rings or both. A compression test would tell you a lot… well, it would tell ME a lot, or your mechanic.

Check the oil level in the supercharger.

If it’s low, the seals in the supercharger are leaking.
