About 2 months ago I noticed a small amount of oil leaking from the far right (as you look at engine) side of the rocker gasket. When I had my inlet manifold changed 2 weeks ago I also had the rocker gasket done as well. I thought that would stop the leak; however it is still leaking.

Took the VR back to the garage earlier; Just got the car back; my mechanic informs me that the actual rocker is the problem, he informs me that the leak is on the right side still and possibly also somewhere at the back as there is also oil there too.

I am miffed as to why the rocker is at fault. I can understand if the car had been running with no oil or water in it. I religiously check the oil and water levels every 2 weeks. As I had a gasket fail on me a few years ago which resulted in the rocker warping and it had to be skimmed (expensive lesson!!!)

I would welcome some feedback from you knowledgeable folks on this, as I mentioned I am miffed as to the cause.

Cheers
