It clears quickly.
Anyone any ideas?

Rick, start up from cold? shouldn't have any fumes for at least 15 secs if residue is getting onto headers....sometimes difficult to detect small leaks after driving as gravity tends to push leaking oil every which way.....possible solution...a white card/paper sheet under engine block and run the engine at idle for a few mins and see what's on the paper.
Any oil lost by the service tech should have long gone after 250 miles so could be a niggling leak on the r/cover.
Check air box pipe from the r/cover, oil filter housing etc, just might be something disturbed during Insp 1.
