Hi guys. Today i went to the garage and start the engine. In 10 seconds there was a smoke starting to get through ventilation in the cabin. It smeels so bad,like burned oil. So i opened the bonnet and saw that it is going from under the cam cover. After like 2 minutes it stopped. I dont know what is it. But i am afraid because before it was running fine. Any ideas please?

Was it coming out of the breather pipes? Or from the back of the cam cover? It sounds like the cam cover gasket is leaking oil so when you start the engine, the oil that has dripped on the exhaust manifold gets burnt off. It happened to mine a while back

most probably cam cover gasket or something else cam cover related.
