All mine have made a kinda whirring noise from very cold start, but passes very quickly.

Heh, we've got a whoosh and a whirr.

Mine whines on start up.

maybe thats normal... but the guy had no service history and i heard a nice little rattle too.. so possibly the dephaser on the way out...

i asked him if it had been changed and he looked blank.. so i walked away haha

oh and i noticed some oil down the front of the engine and some on the passenger side of the block..

Same as mine, Clio's are generally rough from start up especially in colder weather!
