Ok, this isn't on a Rover, but my Mum's Freelander with the M47 engine.

She is away on holiday and frantically phoned me saying the engine was very hot (temp gauge normal though).

The lads our Ipswich EU branch kindly took a look. They took the engine cover off and it was smoking quite a bit from under there. Not blue, but a thin, grey colour.

The oil level was sitting on the Min marker so have topped up to just shy of Max.

I've never worked on one of these engines before, besides 2 routine services.

Are there any common leak points on these engines I should look at? Injector seals or Rocker Cover are the things that spring to mind
