I had a chance to take a better look at the car last night.

Engine bay is pretty dirty and in serious need of a clean, missing it's undertray and the plenum cover is also missing. Not worried about the latter because at least you can see when the drains get blocked.

I found a receipt with a lot of parts listed, from within the last 800 miles for fixing both a coolant and oil leak which were advisories on the last MOT. I hope the oil smell is residual oil on the block or something else.

Rest of the car is spotless, will need a couple of tyres soon.
