Welcome to the forum

Sounds like the cam cover gaskets are leaking, not a major DIY job.

If your cam cover gasket is leaking oil into your plug wells,
you've probably got blocked breathers.
Check them iaw this link:

Also, stalling after warm up is sometimes a symptom of a failing
crank sensor. Do a paperclip check iaw this link.

You'll probably have a simtec ECU, so do it with ignition on, but engine
not running, and look for 4 figure codes.
Post up any codes you get, and report back on your breather check.
