Internet diagnosis is the worst kind  :grin:  But it could be the gasket and I'd replace it anyway (they're cheap) and if the one in there looks OK (not soiled by oil) then start looking elsewhere... Not trying to scare you or anything.

GSF: 11047           VALVE COVER GASKET SET           G2 16V 2/86 >10/91           9.85

If it's not rubber try and find a rubber one.

Yeah, it's what I was going to use  :grin:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

have a look at your crank case pressure. could be too high causing seals to weep. wot boost are you running at w your turbo? is your waste gate stuck shut? check the engine breather pipes too.  :shocked:

The boost really isnt that much, i think it runs at .2 and .8? I will check laters. The waste gate/dump should be fine and still makes the same psh as it always has..... how would i check the crank case presure then?

i dont think there is a way of mesuring, i mentioned this because mate of mine a few years ago had a problem with his fiesta rs turbo, 1990. chipped and v quick but he kept having oil leaks and did once actually blow the dip stick out LOL :laugh:. he found a breather pipe kinked that was causing his problems.
