   You'll have to excuse me because im a bit of a dunce when it comes to engines.
   
   I've got a bit of oil seapage coming from the bottom of the rocker cover and was just wondering if anyone might know why that is and more importantly how to stop it!
   
   Any help greatly appreciated!!

   sounds like you need a new rocker cover rubber gasket its no big deal takes 10 mins to change and there cheap as chips.... if your unsure check your haynes for instructions on removal/refitting....

   also my engine seems to be a wee bit smokey in the morning after my quick rag on the bypass to work, could this be related?
