Default intermittent smoking problem

I seem to have a random smoking problem with the Cossie. It doesn't smoke on start up and will only puff out a cloud of smoke after having been driven for about 20 minutes or so, and it seems worse sat in traffic, it will puff out for about 10 seconds and then it clears itself. If I rev the engine it makes no difference to the smoke at all, it doesn't seem to affect it one bit.

Driving along in traffic in 2nd and then coming to a halt will cause it sometimes, but then on another occasion I can sit in traffic and it won't happen, its slightly frustrating. The only sign I get is a strong smell of oil and then the cloud will appear.

Any ideas as to what is causing this would be appreciated.
