   hi there, now am no mechanic but am sure there is something wrong with my engine.
   
   when i pop the bonnet there is oil all over this place ( av marked it in red )
   
   
   also there is alot of white smoke coming out of the euxuast.
   
   am thinking head gasket but as i say am not a mechanic. any one got any ideas ? thanks guys

   That bit where the oil is coming out from, is the Rocker Cover seal, its nothing to worry about, and a new one costs £8 from Pug and Citroen, and takes 20minutes to fit MAX.
   
   White Smoke? Its winter, cold weathers, cold engines, expect there to be some, but not overly excessive.

    yes defo looks like the rubber gasket,might be worth giving the bolts a nip with a spanner just in case they slightly loose ...

    don't tighten too much though they like to snap!

    Yeah the oil seems to be the rocker gasket, easy to sort and as Dom's said, it's cold so expect a little bit of white smoke but if it's excessive then get a compression test done or something similar.
    
    AND always ignore Bobthebuilder, he's a complete cunt.
