Chances are its the breathers blocked leading to the cam covers leaking .. :(  Very common problem.

When were the breathers last cleaned, and how often does it have an oil change ??

Not a difficult job to DIY .. loads of info in the guides, or you could pay one of the "travelling" guys .. although I don't think theres one near you .. so petrol costs might be a factor .. :(

I am in Cambridge and think I got the same problem. don't know when the breathers were done and losing about 1 litre of oil every few months and making a bit of a mess where I park.
