When i start my Corsa sport X16XE up there is a bit too much grey smoke.! i know they tend to a bit but im sure its not ment to be this much. i think a gasket has gone or seal am i correct? if so which one? i did have to top the oil up quickly today due to it being too low but didnt have time to do filter and drain it out jst a quick top up. any help thanks.

Ps when running it runs fine no stuttering or anyting but sometimes a bit of smoke nown again.

check your spark plugs. see if theres oil on them as that can indicate piston rings worn as opposed to gasket.

you can often tell if its head gasket because the coolant or oil will be cantaminated from each other.
