anyhow put the new seal in and its made absolutley no difference what so ever! Still pi$$ing oil out!

any other ideas? I'll maybe try some sealer on the face - but this will stop movement!

sorry - not oil inside the actual dizzy, oil comes out when you remove the dizzy from round the outside of it - the oil seal inside the dizzy must be doing its job - nothing is in the cap.

You could have a small crack in the head or the leak could be coming from the stud that the dizzy is mounted to. (If that is how it is mounted) Remove the stud and see if the other end protrudes into the head itself. If it does, degrease the whole lot and refit stud with stud lock or thread sealant.
Bear in mind I do not yet know the 16V, so I could be talking out of my @rse!!!

the dizzy mounts direct to head and bolts on - no studs.

The oil is coming past the end of the camshaft and leaking through the mounting surface of the head and dizzy. The O ring should seal it but it doesn't for some reason?
