Ok, car has been in the shed whilst weather is bad, started a few times but not taken out. Driving it yesterday sounded very rough, almost sounding like a VW. Filled fuel, had not put fuel in since March, helped a little, replaced grommets on rocker cover as they had perished and were leaking oil, now appears robe leaking oil from oil cap?? White/ blue smoke and smells quite rich..any thoughts? 998 engine...

Perhaps some gunk has got between the needle and seat in the float bowl and it's over fueling....
