Unhappy Smokey Engine

Smoke coming from the engine bay just left of the top mount intercooler. Smells like burning oil ... Far bit of oil around that area aswell.

Any ideas???

Prob cam cover gasket?. Common fault as they deteriorate due to the heat from the turbo.
Quite easy to do but I would suggest doing your plugs at the same time!!.

Check to see if the neck of the turbo is wet with oil - possibly that. I had it once when Subaru did not re-seal those turbo connector pipes properly when I have to get my front exhaust pipe changed under warranty.

Not a big issue.
