   Hi there.
   My rocker cover gasket has split. So i need to buy a new one.
   So there for oil has started coming out the top or the rocker cover where the gasket has split.
   My question is what can i use and where can i buy it from to get the oil of the engine? Its on the block running down from the front of the rocker cover to the manifold.
   Any help would be good.

   Get some degreaser or something along those lines from Halfords.

   You need a degreaser. Such as Gunk or the Autoglym stuff (forgot what it's called). As where to get it from, Halfrauds will sell it. Or pop in to a motor factors (probably be better on

   you cant buy rocker cover gaskets for the vts's mate.
   
   you need to take it of remove the old seal and seal a new one.
   
   also check your oil cap, there shit and dont seal properly so they tend to leak from there
