Dawes seems to be getting pretty oily. Checked the oil levels and have dropped them a bit as it was right on maximum.

Also getting a bit of smoke down below dawes, near the turbo, after caning it today!

Car seems to be running OK and went well on track on Sunday.

I gave the car a hammering last night trying to keep up through the twisties and their seemed to be a wee bit smoke/steam coming from under the bonnet when we pulled over (might have ben the brakes, not sure) Is this a 'it does that sir' scenario we've discovered?

If there was an oil drip and it dropped onto a hot part then maybe. Brakes are usually the things that smoke on mine
