My Tuscan has started smoking a bit on one side when warmed up and blipping the throttle - dont think its burning oil (not blue smoke?) no smoke on cold start, no weird noises, good pressure and temps.
Any suggestions on what to start checking?

Take the plugs out on the bank that's smoking and see if there's any evidence of oil on them.

Seriously. What colour is the smoke? Does it smell of fuel or oil?

As one sided, (drivers side can??) and when hot it sounds like engine oil being blown onto the air filter where the breather connects. Either too much oil, loose filler cap/dodgey rubber seal or oil getting too hot. Check the catch tank isn't bent as well as this will happen if the condenser is bypassed

Simple to check before you sell the cat, dog, sofa and TV to pay for a rebuild
