Hi all OOF People
got major problems loosing lots of oil like I topped it up two weeks ago and multi dash said "check oil level" which is worrying me when I changed the plugs the other week oil was in the plugs and leads also smoke/steam was coming from drivers side under bonnet also it's leaking oil above the gearbox and moving down the sump it's so bad I left a puddle on my mates drive.
Now is this the rocker cover gaskets or is it something more serious I have read

I also want to know prices of genuine parts I'm going to have to do this ASAP also is there another guides
If I do the gaskets do I have to remove the top part of the Cambelt or does this not need to be removed
Also estimated time of changing them and special requirements
Thanks

yes

no

depends how handy you are with a spanner, couple of hours shpould do it following guide on here, only use genuine vx gaskets and vx black sealant, also clean out your breathers it is these blocking up that causes the gaskets to go :y
also if you leave it to long the oil will fry the ht leads followed by dispack :(
I also want to know prices of genuine parts
afaik approx £20 a side but someone with more knowledge will give you more info on prices :y

PM Andyc on here, with your vehicle detail, and he should be able to give you a trade price on all the parts you need! :y
