Morning all.
After getting all the bits and bobs right on the car, yesterday I decided to give it a blast up the motorway.
After a little above 70 or so for 5 mins, I started to get smoke from the rear of the engine. Smelt a bit of burning oil. Checked the oil level, all OK but a bit dirty. ATF level OK.
Set off home keeping it at a steady 40/50 or so and nothing, she drove like new.
Any ideas guys. I am going to change oil and filter today.
Thanks, Kev

Do you have any oil residue or a slight gasket weep? Sounds like oil burning off hot exhaust manifold
