i have just had rocker cover gaskets changed, both sides, on my 2.5 v6, they have been done as per posting off here, however i`m still getting oil in the spark plug housing and a little on top of the rocker cover, it only does it on the passenger side as you look at engine. it`s beggining to arse me off because of the money thats been thrown at it :'(. i had it done by my neighbour who is a mechanic and i do know he is very good. he has`nt missed anything. does anyone have any ideas to rescue my car, i may be forced to get rid if i can`t get any solutions :'(. many thanks guys for reading.

What torque setting did he tighten the Cam Covers down too?
Are they Genuine?
Did he use any sealer? did he put it all around the gaskets??

Did you use genuine gaskets?

Were the breathers cleaned thoroughly?
Were the o-rings changed?

i got them from my local motor spares, he asked for full reg number so not sure if they were dealer part, however they said gm then a number which ended in 36 for 1 and 39 for the other ??????? yes he used gasket sealer which cost me the earth, £9 !!!!!! before we changed them though, it was doing the exact same then, just the passenger side was full of oil !!!!

i cleaned the breathers, and yes they were torqued to 8nm.

You have to use genuine dealer parts for these. The pattern parts are rubbish.

Would only assume that from the local car shop will not sell Genuine Vauxhall Gaskets & O rings.
You will be changing them very soon when Genuine ones are not used mate.
Also make sure the sealer has not been put all around the gaskets, only a few spots are really needed plus some over the semi circles :y
