Smoking Under Bonnet

[whisperuk]

Hey guys, Iain may remember me mentioning but I used to have quite a hot smell come into the car after stopping idle and continuing slightly after ignition off.

This seems to be getting a little worse. Small up the road runs dont normally show signs of smelling but mainly a tripe for longer than 10mins that would include use of Turbo but nothing hard.

Today I lifted the bonnet after being out in car for 15mins and was quite a bit of smoke, though not pouring out was just coming off of metal.

Having looked around something that goes over my head I noticed the heat/smoke was coming from the corner left of the engine near where the downpipe meets I presume the turbo.

I am guessing its not Oil burning as its not massive amounts.

Could it be the gasket from the turbo to the downpipe? As it seems to be there.

Was a little dark at the time and I had no torch, tho it was coming out of the scoop

Please help loves

Sounds to me like you have a rocker gasket leak or the breather leak thats dripping a small amount of oil onto the headers, that will cause the smoke youre talking about.

Id have it checked as if it gets worse or decides to treat you rough one day it may cause major probs!

youre looking at a small bill if its just a rocker leak, or the little breather cover on the top of the head leaking, easy to fix, and not much money.

If the oil keeps dripping to the point that youre getting smoke, then you WILL see flames, and that will cost you in the region of a NEW CAR!!

work it out for yourself!
