Na Engine, Smoke from rear of the head....

Hi peeps,

I have tried searching but most of the results haven't helped (read on and all will be revealed).

 

I noticed since I got the car that there was some smoke and a smell of burning oil from the back of the enigne. I put it down to the leaking cam covers allowing oil to get baked by the manifold. I thoroughly cleaned the head and camcovers and replaced the gaskets with Genuine toyota ones.

 

There are no leaks what so ever from the cam covers now and the head is as clean as a whistle but I am still getting smoke and a hot oil smell from the back of the engine. It looks like it could be steam but I can't see any coolant leaks or anything..

 

Does anyone know if this has been dealt with before? Can anyone shed any light? The car runs perfectly and it is only really noticable when you get out the car after a drive.

 

Thanks for reading.

 

Alan
