Mine has always done so ! (Pip at WGT told me it was normal, sometimes exaserbated by an oil leak on turbos.)
Mine has run like it for 4 years and still does even after a rebuild.

I think somebody recommended a mazda main dealer in scotland for basic servicing, but Pip at WGT in northwich is probably your nearest expert.
