Is this not the one that Taxi Al & Nick done at the Wycombe meet last week ?  If so , I'm sure replacement covers were used .

I had a 2.5 MFL Elite  where I done the cam covers 3 times with 2 sets of new gaskets & a set of good used cam covers  . .

Just could not stop it leaking  . . . not pouring out but a few drips on the floor after about 20 mins.. sold it in the end  ::)


Edit : must type faster ::) ::)

See if it's over pressurising the crank case.

No. It doesn't need that amount of teme to cure. Black goo takes about 15mins to go off, so by the time it's reassembled it's ready to go. Something else is at play here IMO.

There's a few here, but before bothering them we need some honest answers. Is the oil level correct? Ie, NOT above the top mark on the dipstick when hot?  Has anyone worked on it since the meet? Are the breathers properly clear when blowing through BOTH ways via the breather pipes at the back of the plenum?

Forgive the direct approach but if members are going out of their way to help they might not be best pleased if the basics are not right. Applogies again, but I hope that's understandable?
