Oil slight leak near top of engine block...

[darrenmma]

is this likely to be rocker gasket ?? I checked for bubbles in rad, i checked oil dipsticks, engine oil cap , checked for excessive white smoke, accelerates fast power seems to be there and hardly ever goes above half way on temperature gauge so im hoping not a head gasket sign..... only bought/ driven it today but done a good hour or 2 driving in it. Costs any help thanks ? i'd probably fit myself.

I will update this post tomorrow with photo of leak. thankyou guys.

if its very top more than likely the cam cover gasket. 15quid ish on ebay, easy job to do

if its just above the alternator, then theres every chance its the oilway through the head gasket weeping, common on these engines

As Mandyslover said.
Eiher that or the rocker gasket. Might aswell replace the rocker gasket anyways as i'ts a cheap and easy job, try and get a picture up here if you can then it'll be easier for us to see where it's coming from. Can't imagine it being the headgasket though if you've chcked all the other usual signs for it going.
