My engine bay is covered in oil because the bit highlighted in the photo is swinging about loose, I assume that is where all the oil is coming from, is there some sort of seal that goes around the pipe? This is how it was when I got it as the last owner fitted the air filter

Happened to a mtae of mine the other day, the engine cant breath basically and spits oil everwhere, buy an oil breather filter (cheap as chips) and put this on then give it a good clean and check the engine over matey

Either that or somethings probably come loose/broken in that area and caused the damage

take it to a garage mate as it could be many different things, probably not a head gasket by the sounds of it

I actually think its the gasket between the rocker box and the head ( i hope that makes sense) I have some instant gasket and I'll hopefully get it sorted out tomorrow, i'm not loosing any serious amout of oil but its making a mess of my engine bay as well as the driveway
