oil leak pictures
 

here is my nasty oil leak im assuming its the rocker cover and gasket leaking as its coming down both sides of the bay and then slowly drips onto the floor. ive just had the cylinder head skimmed and a new gasket and new bolts replaced so i dont think its the head gasket, its quite clean oil and ive got no white or blue smoke coming from the exhaust and theres no shit in my coolant tank or oil tank. 5 pictures. http://img17.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=dsc00089b.jpg

have u checked all of the bolts are down tight?
did u replace the head ur self or was it done in a garage?
because if you did it your self there is a set sequence which the bolts have to be tightened so the head does not warp,

it was done at the garage so im thinking i need a new rocker cover and gasket i hope.

Is the seal fitted correctly?

don think the gasket has gone, that normally gives out yellow/orange oil. take it to the garage which did the head and ask if they can have a look, might be somit they overlooked

if it was me id change the rocker cover and gasket and see if that works it will do no harm plus peace of mind.if it dont then i would take it back to the garage

ive been to the mechanic and he said the oil is coming from the rocker gasket where he puts his finger under the rubber its seaping oil down its also coming from the oil feeders and leaking down onto the bottom of the engine leaving me a little oil stain on my drive.what does anyone else think the leak is from the pics.

Before taking it to the garage make sure the 2 rocker cover bolts are done up properly(don`t overtighten though you`ll snap the bolts)5nm is the correct torque setting.
