So few days before Thursday the idle started to get a bit rough, I was like I'm gonna get it fixed after the holidays, because besides that it was fine.
BUT on Thursday after I went over a small uphill I stopped at the traffic light and I've seen a big cloud of smoke. I think it was white, but I've only seen it though the foggy windows so I guess it could be blueish. Anyway, after I reached the destination I popped up the hood, and seen a big oil splash (photos attached), but the car was fine on the whole journey. Few hours later I went back home, and the car was fine, or at least I haven't seen any smokes, and haven't experienced any issues with the idle.
What could be the problem? Old piston rings? Is there anything that I should check?
