I thought it may have been valve seals but it doesnt do it at start up like you would expect. as you say its only after ticking over for 5 mins.
I had the engine compression tested all ok.
I have done one test that gave me some good results. I set the rad fan to continuously on, this kept the temp down so it didnt rise to the point at which it starts the fan in normal use and the smoke wasnt there, I dont think its to do with the vac on the seals at tickover, I think its to do with the heat of the system which rises at low revs/speed and something expanding, although I have yet to work that part out. If you get any info on it I would love to know.
