Some times when I swirltch of the engine on my 2008 LR3 there is smoke from the drivers side of the engine. It only lasts about 20 seconds. There are no visible oil.leaks under the landrover
Any ideas are appreciated

Depends which way the wind was blowing and where the OP was viewing it from I guess but fair point.

If it is the FBH it would smoke on start up not when switched off as the engine would be up to temperature unless the ambient temperature is well below freezing even then the FBH would also switch off.
Look for a leaking injector whilst the engine is running, keep your bare hands clear or you may be injected with diesel.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
