Ok thanks. Will sort that out. Rocker cover is leaking abit aswell is it a hard job to do. like I say im no mechanic but dont mind giving it ago. Is it just a case of taking it apart cleaning it all up and replacing gasket.

As you can probably tell I'm not overly familiar with the 110 flavour engine layout but rocker cover gaskets are usually just unbolt and lift off cover, clean up the joint and fit new gasket. Depending on the location of the turbo pipe it may need to come off to make room to easily lift the rocker cover off, my old 1.9 was like that.

Hi & welcome,
It could just be the valve stem oil seals have gone hard with age, this happens & when you turn off it allows a bit of oil to drain back down into the bores.
This is what you see getting burnt off when you first start it up
T.B.H I wouldn't worry about it to much if your not using much oil & it stops after a few minutes after said oil in bores has burnt off.
