These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

took the car for a real good run at wk end, i give it quite a bit of stick but when i got home there is some small bits of oil on the rear bumper on the n/s exhaust pipe side, i noticed them as i had fully polished the car before taking it out. my car is yellow so they show up a lot i guess.
do i start doing the overtime or wot?? heres a pic of car anyway b4 i took it out.
Hmm, potentially. If your car is smoking on one side, then that is potentially a concern, if it's on both sides it's less of a worry.
Is your car using more oil than normal or is it smoking when running?
Can we have some pictures of the oil stain and can you then wipe it and see if the problem is a one off?
Cheers.
PS - if it's infrequently used, you could be burning off some excess oil, but I'd expect that from both sides.
cheers , only n/s, exhaust car is hardly ever used, once a week maybe a sunday if weather is nice, no oil consumption noticed only put a drop in it in a yr of ownership, no smoke when booting it.
Do you actually get blue smoke when you give it the welly :?: . If you cant see it when you are driving get some one to follow you and check.
Are you using much oil :?:
It could also be bit of fuel soot, from giving it a bit of a caning. If you have had to drive less enthusiasticly over the winter, then now you are giving it some, you will be kicking the winter "*****" out of the exhaust.
Is the deposits on the back bumper greasy or are they sooty :?:
If not greasy then its more likely fuel.

I'll bet you washed the car before you polished it, I'll bet water got into one exh pipe and has been blown out on your run, I'll bet it's not oil but black water.
Nice car, nice colour
Fuel soot looks like Black water.
It can come from just one side or both. It is merely carbon build up inside your rear silencers, a decent trash loosens it up, it mixes with condensation and comes out of your tailpipe in a Black water like form. When it dries out it can look like oil residue.
