Hi, try a different oil or change it to see how it goes, cold oil is more sludgey less likely to burn etc, so if you use a higher spec oil you may rid this smoke? Check the breathers too, if they are restricted it can create a bit of crankcase pressure which can push oil where you don't want it. Hope this helps  :smiley:

I would certainly do the above - after that, it may be worth checking the compression on all 4 cylinders if you have no joy.
