Yeah the rocker gasket looks like it would for it's age, tightened the bolts up to slight resistance (not tight, just tighter than what they were).


Had a better look today, wiped off the oil I could reach, took it for a drive nothing immediately replaced where it had collected. Not as close to the timing belt as the first angle I saw it from suggested, I was cramped in the garage at that point finding out how flexible I'm not.

This was after I'd managed to clean it a little.


Just going to keep an eye on it for now.

Thanks for the answers guys.
