   cammed 152bhp saxo vts mk1
   2nd head gasket after leaking (now main dealer gasket and head bolts fitted)
   
   What are the odds of it still leaking oil out the bottom of the block. (external)
   
   think its leaking again thats all. i have oil leaking from the cam cover, but just a little bit. theres alot of oil on the gasket area and bottom block.
   1st it was leaking on the left side, now its the right side.
   dose or has anyone have this problem

   Not much peeps can say without seeing the engine. It is unlikely the gasket has gone again so quickly unless the job was not done right. Why not clean your engine with degreaser etc and take it for a short run then immediately check. It won't be hard to see where it's coming from hopefully.

   Was the head skimmed when the gasket was done ?
