Thumbs down smoke on tickover after run

Hi guys posted in general ealier in the week (prob the wrong place ) so i'll give it a go here ,

Last friday i took her in for its service at my local stealer and got her back with no probs , but however my car has now started to smoke on tickover after a run of any kind i.e fast , slow , long , short , its never done it before so i decided to check the oil level not long after switching it off (therefore the level should show lower than full ) and noticed that it was still just fractionally over the FULL mark , firstly would over fill cause this smoke and secondly will it damage anything if it is overfilled ,

I have since checked it after a good few hours to get a true reading and its still over the full mark , the smoke has a smell of burning oil and tonight after A short run to check it out i've been getting fine droplets of oil coming out of it ,

I'm off back up the dealers tomorrow morning so thought i'd get some sound HONEST advice from fellow snetters along with some amo if required .


Any help / advice will be greatly appreciated

Take it back to the stealer mate.. Tell them it wasn't doing it before the service and you want it sorted free of charge.
