Smoking after going down a Steep Hill

Sjdickso

Went for a spin today in the country.

After going down a steep road for aound 1/4 mile. I turned off the road to go uphill, after doing so quite a bit of blue smoke came from the back of the car so much so i could see it int he rear view mirror but then stopped as i went into second gear.

Is this normal dunno.. Has all the oil been forced down due the gradient of the hill dunno..

I checked and topped the oil up last week and was at around the maximum mark.

None what so ever.

The only reason i saw it was the fact it was a left turn up a hill and i wanted to make sure a bike / car was going to fly up the road as i pulled out. I then saw a plume of smoke from the back i didnt really go above 3k on the revs so it wasnt like i was toeing it.
