I get the same on my early square, it burns oil, so I can really smell it.
Every time I wash my car, there is soot in the intake vents, so I am
guessing with the shape of the earlier vents the air can get sucked in from
the rear of the car when travelling at slower speeds (I never notice it on
the motorway).
