morning all,

I have 2 main issues with my car at the moment.

1 being a fair amount of what looks like bluish smoke coming out of the oil filler cap. Now I know this normally means crank case pressure is to high however I however oil breather is pretty much a new genuine part Oil is Castrol 5w-30 I believe. I just want to see if anyone's had any similar problems?

I also have had 2 bottom hoses split around the seal that connects to the thermostat im now on hose number 3. However I think the oil that is gathering in the little bit next to the oil filler cap is spilling onto the hose so this could be the issue? I have not had the block tested and from what I can see there is no oil in the coolant.

please ask any more questions I may have missed some information.

Thoughts please?
