    Oily engine.

    Spotted what looks like oil on the side of my engine today. It looks like it might be coming from the join in the photos. The car was only serviced about a month ago.

    Anything to worry about?





    Any help is appreciated

    Noticed same yesterday. I guess it's just the valve cover seal leaking.

      Yes 100% rocker cover seals, common oil leak from these. Think they come in a complete kit

        Thanks guys.

        Does it need an urgent fix?
        Anyone have a link to the part needed to fix it and could I do it myself? I own a spanner, but, you know...
