Oil slightly seaping from the head

[slicksimon]

Hi guys I've noticed that I have some slight sweating/seaping of oil from the head gasket. I know its the head I've looked it's just underneath the manifold. The block is moist. I'm just wondering if it's worth doing or monitoring it. Also what's peoples different ways of taking the head off without desturbing the liners. U can't realy twist can u cus the head is on dowls
cheers

jsut keep an eye on it if its worrying yu, but its a common thing on pretty much all cars, to have oil on the block, from somewhere.

its a design fault all saxo ax 106 205 engines leak oil from the head at the timing cover side. this is because the main oilway from the block to the cylinder head is at this side and only 8mm from the edge of the block and head so they tend to weap oil, dont worry its common.
