Hi and welcome to the forum :y
You have three choices here, either buy some genuine gm gaskets, which if fitted correctly might cure your leak.

Or buy some aftermarket gaskets which wont cure your leak.

Or.. see the light and buy some aluminum cam covers as fitted to the Vauxhall vectra and kiss goodbye to oil leaks forever :)

Search for 'Vectra cam covers' on here, you will find some lively debate about the subject :y

Hi, Welcome to the OOF..  ;)

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.
