yeah thats the one.  It just pushes into the rocker cover.  might be the mesh grill under it is partially blocked?  I'd try piulling the pcv off 1st, if that dont help take the rocker cover off and give it a good clean, mthen refit with a new rubber gasket (replace the studs too if it had a cork one on there before)

ok thanks i'll give that a go when i get the chance. i'll give the the mesh a good clean aswel while im at it.

one other thing i was wondering about was the oil pressure buzzer. after this mishap with the oil spilling everywhere, the next day i was on my way to college and after bout 30minutes the buzzer went off. i pulled up asap, checked all connections and looked for oil leaks, turned the car on and no buzzer. the buzzer hasnt come on since. i was just wondering if it could have been a loose connection or related to oil spilling out from the rocker cover?

nah should be ok if you switched it off straight after the buzzer, and it didnt come back.  could be a sensor fault too, sometimes the blow inside, you know they're gone if you find the rubber boot is full of oil!

check the boots on the pressure senders, if they're full of oil they are fubar'd.

The pressure senders are what tells the dash buzzer it should go off. One is on the oil filter housing, the other is on the side of de head, great big sensor, one is white the other is black, brown or blue.  They'll have a big black rubber cap over the wire, the wire for the one on the oil filter houisng is yellow, side o head is blue.

ahh cheers yeh the blue one on the side of the head was a bit iffy when i checked the connections after the buzzer went off. so this could be all a scare for a connection reason, phew, i'll still get the compression checked anyways
