This Bracket looks like it’s peened, so will be a tough one to get off and a 1 time fit I guess.

I had thought it was me over spraying WD40, but reading online, Diesel and WD40 have similar smells when burning. So i'm now thinking this is a diesel leak.

I will attempt to remove this sleeve tonight. I’m thinking it could be diesel.

From what I saw on the video, it doesn't look like surface WD40 causing the smoke, it looks more like there's something spraying or leaking onto the engine when you rev it. From checking the pooling on the bottom end, is it diesel or oil? I can't tell from the photos.

My engine bay has recently started smoking. Took a video of it today.

Now, couple of things to note.

1. I know nothing about cars.
2. Ive sprayed ALOT of WD40 into the hood hinges (which did douse the Engine Cover)
3. It seems to have also pooled at the bottom end.

Hopefully this link works.
Any help much appreciated
