It only smokes in the long left-handers; towards the end of the turn when it has been loaded to the left for a few seconds, and then for a few seconds once out of the turn (in other words, it takes a bit to burn off all the oil.). At all other times it doesn't smoke.

One of the turns is a second gear corner that is flat-out onto the main straight. You shift as the car is pretty much straightened out. I tried it in third gear a few times, and it didn't smoke then. The other turn where the problem was occurring is a third gear corner, I was probably at steady throttle at around 3500 - 4000 rpm. I didn't try second gear, as it too fast for second, and it would be lugging in fourth gear.

I can remove the oil cap with a little bit of resistance when the engine is running, but it isn't difficult.
