as ive got an oil leak somewhere at back of camcover area i noticed some oil patch just further back and lower on a tin type plate and when driving i noticed when idling in traffic the engine revs slightly up to 1000rpm for 3 or 4 seconds then you get the burnt oil smell and odd puff of smoke from the side of bonnet.it goes away when driving after a few minutes.cant fathom it.cheers
