Having just completed the saga of the glowplug replacement I was quite surprised all seemed to go back togetrher ok. Not getting any glowplug errors now so that is something. So went for a quick run in her and on stopping saw smoke coming out from the bonnet, not lots but certainly noticeable.
Had a look nothing seems amiss. Smoke coming from down below by the bulkhead. So left her idling and smoke disappeared. So out for another run with same result. Again leave idling smoke disappears. Now I am just hoping it is oil that has dripped out of the pipework going to the turbo that has ended up on the exhaust hence the smoke, though find odd no smoke on idling. Nothing new done except removed swirl flaps and blocked off the egr but doubt that is the problem
Any suggestions if it does not clear soon?

Exhaust probably not getting hot enough at idle to burn off, give it a good run to burn oil off. if ts still doing it after a while could something amiss??? 2013 FL2 XS.

Looks like what I thought it was, oil on exhaust. Nothing in last two days.
