Hey guys, I have had a look through the site and i can't really find anything that describes what the problem is. When the car is sitting at lights or at a stop, there is some white smoke coming from the engine bay, not a lot, but enough to notice. I have pulled over and opened the bonnet. The smoke/steam seems to come from the back left( Drivers side) of the block. After around 20-30 seconds the smoke stops coming out. Im not sure if it is the rear seal. I can't see any oil leaking under the car. It only happens after driving the car for a while. Any help would be great. Thanks

Jason, I have had a similar problem and have tracked it down to the bolts on the cam covers not being tight and allowing oil to escape thru only when the motor is running. A new rocker cover seal or just tighten the bolts may solve the problem.
