Smoke?

[Razza]

Just back from a 340 mile round trip to Glasgow, car was serviced the week before. I noticed a little smoke coming out of the engine on the way back whilst stopped at roadworks but very little (thought it was the exhaust fumes from the car in front). Car ran fine and no problems but have just noticed very faints smoke stains running up the bonnet. Its started fine again and no smoke and as I said it ran fine all the way and no warning lights came on - absolutey mystified and a little concerned - any ideas - something to do with the oil change / service maybe, radiator on the way out?

Baffled - any ideas very welcome?

was any oil spilt on the manifold in the oil change

Probs a little spillage at service time,or a little oil weeping from a breather pipe maybe?
Does'nt sound like anything too serious mate,just keep and eyey on your levels for anything strange happening.
