It's a combi valve mate, doesn't do much in all honesty get rid of it and do the SAI delete rather than take it off and put a new one on

No mate it wouldn't leak oil, where it connects to the block is where coolant is, so if it was to leak anything it would be coolant, it's more than likely the rocker gasket leaking that side  :wink:

Not at all, it's just a case of taking the bolts off, removing the head then removing the old gasket, clean the two surfaces and then refit gasket and put the rocker back on and tighten the bolts, think they are meant to be tightened to 10nm but I always tighten then nip them up, just don't do them too tight.
