Hi Kaycee, that was quite a hello! ;)

Many people view these cars poorly, and I am very pleased they do!
Opinions like those help keep the prices down, which means they become a bargain to us! :)

If it is only a small leak, try cleaning the breathers. That is a simple enough job (read Ronnies guide in the maintenance section). Remove the pressure causing the leak and you may be fortunate enough that the gasket re-seals.

Oh, and Doncaster? I am sure we have one or 2 people in your part of the world.

Welcome to site :)

Cam gaskets not that bad, but passenger side one is fiddly, and a second pair of hands comes in useful.

If a garage does it, ensure they fully clear breathers, else it will only leak again...
