Just been out to car to give it a drive round the block a few times just to finish off drying out the interior.
Problem is when I start the car after a couple of mins I'm getting some white smoke which smells like the car is running rich . Go for a drive not even a mile come back sit in the car with it idling for about half hour no smoke at all.
Switched the car off came indoors for 2 mins went back out there and started it and loads of white smoke again.

Under the bonnet I'm getting the smell like an oil breather is split or something also smells a bit of petrol both these smells are coming from round the throttle body area.
Any ideas.

What's the best way to search for a vac leak how about a spray bottle with washing up liquid or something.

White smoke could purely be condensation due to the weather. Tue smell under the bonnet could well be a split breather. Best way to find them is to fond someone with a smoke tester and get it tested, or make you own.

Deffo not condensation. If I've got a split breather or something could this cause the smoke out the back due to vacuum or whatever. Cause if I had of gone up the road again and come back it would have stopped again. It's as if a choke is getting stuck in or something when started but once you go up the road it clears it.

Doing my head in now love the car other than this. It's stumped me its a strange one cause as I say if I go up the road in it it stops and I can park up with it ticking over and it won't do it. Switch it off start it up again and it will do it again until I go up the road again. Seems to be using loads of petrol aswell .
