Hey all,
Seeking some opinions here.

Is this an issue? Only happens when car warmed up but it's not weather related. No warning lights on. Car seems to be running fine. Cars only just bought from a garage, 4 injectors were changed recently.

Check coolant for traces of oil.
Check oil dipstick for traces of coolant.
Is the car using oil
