Rocker cover gaskets? Can look like it comes from turbo area sometimes if its the drivers side one that has gone.

I have no idea pal, I've only had the car 2 weeks. I'm hoping that it's nothing serious as I'm at the end of my tether with it at the moment, I'm beginning to wish I'd bought an evo!

The smoke can vary from a small plume to a full on James bond style smoke screen, the mileage has just gone 78k but I'm not sure how much of that is in km

Stick your head in the engine bay and look down the side where the rocker covers are (things spark plugs go into). If there is any oil on on the outside of the rocker cover it's most likely a leaking rocker cover seal (common thing to happen on scoobs) and can cause a lot of smoke or sometimes a little depending on how much has leaked and burnt off.

Also, what colour is the smoke?

I'd pop it round to somewhere like Pole Position to have a gander at it.

From the engine bay or exhaust?

If it is a turbo issue I'd get that checked asap before it blows the rest of the engine.

Ignore my post about rocker cover gaskets, was under the impression it was coming from the engine bay.

Get it checked out asap as someone else mentioned, hopefully nothing too serious.

I'm not happy about the situation mate trust me, the back box looks like it is a hayward and scott one but the centre section looks to be standard.

I'm trying to be very careful on how I word things so as not to upset anyone unnecessarily, to make matters worse it seems that api don't work saturdays which is the only day I really get where I can get there to get the car looked at being as I work Monday to Friday
