Had a little poke about today under my cam cover as I noticed a bit of an oil leak when I was changing my turbo over. I was greeted with a puddle of oil in the spark plug chambers too so the gasket was past its best.

So it was cam cover off and I soon found that the gasket had been leaking from the back of the engine. Makes sense as the turbo gives off a lot of heat



then I found the other gasket that seals the plug chambers had also been leaking, leaving oil on the plugs and coil pack ends







so I pulled the plugs out and gave everything a good clean up then fitted the new gaskets



got it all back together and started it up, a small bit of smoke where the oil burnt off but all seems good  :smiley:

Also fitted my aero wipers, not the greatest shot as my battery went on my phone

cheers guys much appreciated. Joe it's a Blueflame system, picked it up off ebay for £150. I have a 2.5" decat fitted too. They come with the adapter to fit to a standard cat though.

I have a standard cat in the shed if you need one, only done 50k.
