Just topped it up minutes ago with 0.3l of fresh gm semi. And there's no fresh oil stain on driveway, although there is a big one from the pattern gasket time.

No oil in plug wells, checked yesterday when I was cleaning breather box. I needed to pull plugs out anyway. When it leaks it only leaks on exhaust manifolds

I hope I'm not saying it to soon but....done 45 miles and no leak! :y
It seems there was so much oil residue it was smoking every time I drove at higher rpm because probably temperature raised much more compared to slowish driving around town.
Just my explanation... :-X to comfort myself a bit.
And yes , I still suffer of Post Traumatic Stress sindrom of cam gasket fail :-X ::)

I don't think so. I think yours was suffering from blocked breathers. But yes, fingers crossed. Might be worth a can of gunk and careful use of a jet wash to get the oil off. Obviously avoiding any electrics etc.

Yes, I'm planning to do that, and to empty a bottle of carb cleaner into the breather box before oil change soon. Thanks for help and patience guys :y
