Ok guys i have just...

Replaced the cam cover gaskets
Removed the metal breather pipe, cleaned it, new gasket
Full service

Now at the base of the metal breather pipe,where it bolts on i have a slight drip of oil....

I get the feeling it is dripping onto there from higher up..
Before i go taking things back off again(thinking cam cover gasket may not be seated properly) has anyone else had this?

[mark.adams]

Yep cam cover gasket where the two semi circular bits of gasket fit at the back of the cam cover (typically) did you use any of that black vauxhall sealant?

Unless its the gasket at the bottom of the metal pipe ... it has a ridge and has to be fitted the right way up although i cant remember which way up it is  :-/
But you say its dripping so yes maybe the cam gasket half moons aint sitting properly or maybe just some left over oil  :-/

[Iain]

I did mate yeah,but thinking back im sure i only put it on the edges, the same as the front!

[Proz]

I never used any of the Vx sealant stuff when i did mine  8-)

[Iain]

The breather gasket im sure was seated with the dent down(if that makes sense)

Might be the easiest option to try that 1st before pulling off the cam cover again

Says here the raised part of gasket must face up .... very bottom of the guide
