Just a thought! Is it posible for the oil to be leaking from the breather?

if you mean the gromet and breather on the top of the rocker cover then yes oil can leak there if the breather is loose or the gromet has had it. try some black tap around the breather to give it a tighter fit make sure you clean any oil off the breather first   ;)

Yes the breather which is tothe left,next to the oil cooler, I mean the actual bit that is attached to the engine, not where the breather hose goes over!

I don't want to replace the oil cooler bracket gasket and find it the breather housing! :(

Ok great, just a thought that's all as it's bolted next the oil cooler bracket and the oil is coming from there and i though it might be that instead, i don't want to renew the oil cooler bracket gasket and find it not that! :)
