My Mechanic said he thought it may be an oil leak but it doesn't smell like oil. A few times, when it's happened, I've taken it to him and sods law, it stops by the time he sees it, so I could only show him the video.

It's just weird because it doesn't always happen and distance or speed doesn't matter when it does.

Hi Dave, The car was serviced last month so I'd like to think the coolant was topped up. Do you think there may be a hose under or near the diesel particulate filter that is leaking? Not sure if you could see the blow of smoke from the video. Thanks John

Looks like it's coming from a part similar to this and in the direction of the drivers seat.

No air con on. Not sure about the preheat plug. It's just a start button.

Hi Stu, Thanks for the reply. If you are standing in front of the car, it is coming from the top left. So on the Drivers side, directly in front of the steering wheel. It looks like it's coming from something round in shape that looks as if it's been welded.

Thank You

Morning all. Nice to have found this group.

Have this issue for the last few months. Smoke comes out and into vents, completely at random. I did a drive to Ireland and no smoke. Did a drive to work and back, just over 2 miles and smoke came out. Don't have to be going fast. It's happening randomly. Mechanic thinks it may be an oil leak but says nightmare to find out, cause he'd need to strip engine and then it wouldn't be able to switch on to find the problem. Warranty say gasket leaks are not covered, if that's what it is. Anyone had this issue before? Any help is greatly appreciated. 20230729_182306.mp4
