in the last few days i have had a whining noise coming from what i thought was the oil pump as i get occasional smoke coming from my exhaust, this only happens when its been idling and as i start to accelerate, its not there when its idling. these problems only happens once its warm. any ideas or advice would be great.
thanks ann
