I think this one has been going a long time but being an older car I just accepted it , but feel it's got worse now .
So occasional start up and running with part throttle slight acceleration there is some visable smoke , but it's random !
A bit more than occasional as I've observed this afternoon going across town , happend 4 times .
Hard to see with privacy shades so relying on side mirrors , I'm more conscious of it now so would like to sort .
I do remember one mot smoke opacity test being aborted as one of the later accelerations coughed that would of ruined the mean value .
Going to drive it more to see if there is a pattern , haven't seen it on full throttle yet and will floor it when I see it next on part throttle with warmed up engine .
At present I'm thinking PCV , now I've not had to look at PCV for a very long time as my first car on an engine swap change had a blocked rocket cover breather gauze fit for an acid bath .
I'm losely thinking..

as this diaphragm acts as a seperator .
Much cheaper than a new cam cover .
Your experiences ?
