My 2003 Mondeo 2.5 V6 is giving off a fair bit of smoke from the back of the engine. If driven with care and ease this does not seem to happen, yet given a bit of throttle/spirited drive as soon as I pull up I can see smoke coming from the drivers side wheelarch. I opened the bonnet today and looked at where the smoke was coming from, I have pointed with my finger in the picture to where the smoke comes from, kind of from the back of the engine.....Also the smoke smells of oil.

Any ideas would be great.



This is the type of engine she has.... A Duratec 2.5 V6 170BHP.
