Leads could be culprit, esp the one that has been baked in oil...  ...failing that, plugs or DIS.

I am assuming EML isn'y on...

I also assume it was the Cam cover gasget and NOT the head gasket they changed? Otherwise yo may still have the oil leak, as it will undoubtedly be the cam cover gasket that failed.

Cam cover gaskets will be replaced if you do HG...

...how else will you undo head bolts?

Good point....... and very well made  ;)
What I was also trying to say, but not very well, was did they change the HG in error. But as you say, either way the cam gasket should now be Ok.
