Hi Jim,

the car had been run for about 80 min's, I had stopped at mcdonalds for about 20 mins, but the temp gauge was at its normal. It has happened again today, but not nearly so bad, it does seem to be when I am letting off the juice after a decent blast.

Initially I was really shocked, but the performance of the car is fine? there is no "Burning Oil smell" so your suggestion seems feasible.

it is hard to say "white or grey" I will keep a close eye out for the colour tomorrow.

My main concern was if it is white smoke, that generally means head gasket gone or water in the oil doesn't it?

thanks
