also if i rev it HARD lots of little bits of oil will come out, cannot see it come out or anything but mate parked his car behind mine and it had LOADS od VERY SMALL specs of oil over it from my exhaust.

come on lads what ya reckon i should do first...... compression test??? or change the oil seals and get a head gasket set? or what else???

ok car constantly lets out a slight bit of smoke not thick smoke and no bigger than the size of half a football.

should i be worried? its just bothering me cos no one else's corsa's do this who i know... i have a reciept of £337 worth of work taken out 1 year ago which includes pressure test,skimmed cylinder head,cylinder head gasket set, cylinder head bolts, radiator fan switch, blue 15w/40 5 litre, filter oil, antifreeze.

what do you guys think? im no expert but maybe needs new oil rings or head gasket set(£14.99)
