Rocker cover gaskets - quite common for these to go on Omega's.

as Bob says.
Usually caused by blocked breathers. That and cam cover gaskit replacement are both covered in maintenance section.

Trouble is usually followed by miss fire issues as you spark plug wells will most likely be full of oil. New plugs and leads usually needed but see how you go.

Not too hard diy though. Just make certain you use genuine cam cover gaskets. Vx only.
