unscrew the oil filler cap and check for smoke, particuarly if you blip the throttle

thanks for the reply,
car sits smooth at idle 70% of the time, and i think ive noticed puffs of smoke coming out the dipstick tube when i took that out last time, but that was white so i thought it could just be heat vapour escaping, ill check under the filler cap tommorow,

gonna change the oil this week end aswell,

do you think its adviseable to drive it 4 miles to work whiile im getting this sorted, im thinking not....
