   Hi people since I've had my new engine fitted and had my car back I keep noticing oil sitting ontop of my manifold heat shield.
   I've not used the car all week so it's just been sat and there's still some sitting there.
   I'm guessing it's cooming from my jp4 cam covers as I never put new rubber gasket seals on, I just stuck the used ones on they came with, although I wouldn't have thought that much would come from there?
   Thanks all

   You need the seals to make sure it's tight

   I would fit a new set, it wont take much slag for it to start leaking
