Hey! - You're going to get sick of me soon.

Just took the car out for a spin this morning, upon switching the engine off there is a fair amount of white smoke coming from the engine bay, smells like oil too.

Cant see any visible leaks up front, I put cardboard underneath, came back in 5 minutes and there is a small-ish but sizable enough for me to come running here puddle of oil on the cardboard. Around the back of the engine. Which i assume is then burning off on the engine causing the smoke.

My question is ultimately, what could it be? How do I fix?

Understand ill need to get it in the air to be sure, but atleast a starting point from you guys would be much much appreciated.

It could be the rear of the outer rocker covers.

Thanks @Bones28

I found this post that sounds just like the symptoms of my leak, including location of smoke coming off when the engine has shut off and mine is also worse when its had a good go out with high boost.

So assuming this is the fault, has anyone got any guides on replacing?

Ive found a Simon H video here that looks informative

But yeah, any information, guides, videos that you know of, please send my way! - Thanks as always
