Default Need to sort this smoke problem

Since i got this blobeye it occasionally smokes out of exhaust and small amount out of bonnet vent, yesterday it happened so popped bonnet and saw the smoke (white-ish grey-ish) was coming from way down bottom of engine area and rising between the engine and intercooler, only happens when car is idling after about 20 minutes of driving but doesnt happen everytime, as soon as i pull away it all stops....... stumped but think it may be into a garage time

You've got a leak of some sort.

lol ,, run it into any garage that has a lift free and ask em to pick it up so you can have a look underneath - if theyre quiet they should oblige if only in the hope of getting some work out of it

Then you need to find a good mechanic buddy and at least get it checked ,, could be something really simple that will be cheap to fix now but if left could get expensive ,, no amount of pointers or advice is going to help in truth if you cant get your hands a little dirty

I would have expanded on my post yesterday, but, I was tired after a very long Saturday, and a long Sunday with my car fighting me at every step of what I was trying to get done.

It's either going to be oil or coolant thats leaking.

It's just condensation out the exhaust usually if it happens at first start up.
