My RP produces fumes from the holes in the tappet cover, especially when climbing steep hills, when the engine is working hard and the oil gets nice and hot. The faintest of blue miasmas appear in the front passenger footwell together with a distinct smell of hot motor oil. All three sevens that I have owned did this (the special only with the hood up), so I have presumed that it is one of the quirks of design.
