Took the daughter to school the other day which is at the top of a hill, not particularly steep, but an incline none the less (enough to stress out the 1.6t diesel - tbh what incline isn't enough to stress out the ol' gal).
When I parked up, I noticed whiteish / grey smoke coming from the left air vent / filter side. I had a good whiff and it didn't smell "too bad" (unlike the time I had thick black smoke bellowing out the right side air vent....)
Have had to use the van a couple of times since, just on a flat road, keeping below 20mph and no smoke.
Am not sure if I am being paranoid, but there may be more of a "smell" when park up even if no smoke.
Had a search around found this thread
Oil soaked air filter

Which I think could be the issue, will check at first chance I get.
Are there other possible causes for this and things to check for before calling in the mechanic. Have found a trusted guy here, but he is 3 hours away. He will come out here for a home visit, but that will be costly so would rather exhaut my (limited) DIY options first.
As always, many thanks
