    anyone got any ideas i have noticed oil over my engine at the front it seems to be running down looks qiute bad but when i check the oil level its on the second mark on the stick and even when its parked over night there are no signs of oil on the floor however my cam covers seem to be leaking a bit could this be the problem. can't see it being a head gasket as car is running fine.

    Cam covers are very prone to leaking on the 16v, also when head gaskets get old they tend to leak just above the alternator.
