Title: Smoke from engine bay
Post by: doog on 06 January 2009, 18:08:44

My omega has recently started to smoke a bit from under the bonnet  more so after a good thrashing .

 It seems to be oil landing on the manifold   do i have the common rocker cover gasket failure problem?

Indeed...sounds like blocked breathers causing failed camcover gaskets...
