Was going to nursery school this morning to pick up my son and was a little late so was speeding just a little bit, came to a set of traffic lights and noticed smoke coming from under bonnet (hood), stopped at first available place to have a look but seemed to have stopped smoking??? started going again and at next lights there was a LOT of smoke, very late at this point so had no choice but to continue and pick up son, was now panicking about car, got son then had a look at car and again couldnt find where smoke was coming from, didnt seem to have any problems on way home and car was still running great but when i got home there was a little more smoke, after a good inspection i discovered that the dipstick sheath had come out of its position (or had never been put back in right since i had IM out!!), PHEW!! after a lot of fiddling with the PITA screw that holds dipstick in place i got it back together, i guess under load the oil must have been coming out and dripping onto exhaust, problem solved with no money spent (just wish this happened more often!!)
