2002. only had it last Saturday. I e-mailed the guy i bought it off last night. He's Romanian so was hard to understand but when i took the car for a test drive last week i'm sure he mentioned the rocker gaskets had been done about a month ago. He replied this morning and confirmed he did so it's got to be the rocker gaskets, probably not done correctly !!
quite possibly, bet its from the half moons. prob didnt put any sealant in the corners.  :)

Would it be possible to salvage the gaskets, you know, remove the rocker covers and re-fit the gaskets correctly with sealant with them only being done a month ago or do they have ti be renewed once the covers are removed?

What sealant are you supposed to use then. I have a tube of normal black DIY sealant in my garage, will that suffice ??????  :-\

when you do the passenger side gasket, tie the loom up out of the way, tie it to the bonnet strut  :y

Got home from work and had a feel around the rocker covers and it'quiet damp with oil. I also noticed that whoever did the job previously has fitted one incorrect bolt on one of the rocker covers, it has an alan key head !! Is it possible to buy replacement rocker cover bolts, the torx ones ? :'(
