bit of white smoke
well i finished my estate last weekend, been using her all week covered about 500miles, its mfi and i'm getting a little white smoke out of exhaust when you let off and throttle up again, now i instantly thought turbo but it only does it when your driving below 3000rpm and turbo not boosting, when you use the boost it doesnt smoke at all, any ideas???

i fear head gasket as there is a small patch of oil jus below the head near the cambelt on the front of the block, she doesnt overheat and heaters stay red hot, so could be early stages yet, i only ever use vpower fuel and its defo thick white smoke, defo not condensation
oil could be from rocker cover gasket, they all go eventually.
take it for a spin, will take a few hours of idle or a good run to clear condensation/water build up in the exhaust system.
