After shut down I seem to get a small cloud of light smoke rising up from the front bottom left side of the engine (from the driver seat view).

The engine seems dry.

Any common culprits? Hopefully not a manifold leak. Hopefully just need to reseal the manifold to collector connection.

Thanks. That seems a likely culprit. The PAS reservoir is in that area and the bottom of the reservoir seems a tad moist. I will add it to the list of things to address.

My car is a RHD to LHD conversion and so the plumbing is a little wonky. Hopefully the prior owner has done the proper pipes for the high and low pressure parts

It's going to a specialist here in Canada next week to get a bunch of stuff addressed
