Bluish Smoke From under the Front

Just noticed over the last couple of days after driving the odd few short miles back and forth , once i have stopped some bluish smoke comes out from underneath the front of the car , have checked under the bonnet for any oil leaks or such but nothing , not even any leaks as such underneath the car .... Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

Maybe have to get it checked in to the dealers to have a once over done ... Rolling Eyes

If it's a diesel check your engine breather has been replaced, preferably with the updated cyclonic type, mine did this before replacement with later type.
Also with the engine running remove your oil filler cap from the top of the engine, see if you have excess breathing (the engine, not you Wink )
