   Hi guys. I have an oil leak on my Saxo VTS, it looks like its coming from the oil cap, maybe a new gasket is need? Im not too sure. I check my oil levels every week and it hardly moves at all, it may be a possible slow drip over the time i havnt checked. If anyone has any ideas on where exactly this is coming from that would be awesome! The oil looks very clean as well just incase that helps.
   
   Thanks guys.
   
   p.s. Sorry if the pictures are bad, i parked under a lamp this morning so when i got back from work and it was dark i could wash the beast. Lamp didnt seem to be so bright and i thought id might as well take some pics whilst im out here, cheers.

   The oil caps on these are known to leak,a lot of people get a new style 106gti oil cap which seals better.

   Rocker covers tend to leak which you have to re-seal as there is no gasket for them.
