Thinking to tidy up the engine bay on my latest car, but maybe I should just go ahead and replace the rocker cover gasket while I'm at it? Does it look like that is what could be causing the oil build-up on my engine?
I'd be really interested to hear how you get on with this, i need to do mine as it has been weeping for a while and smells every once in a while. It does look like yours has some old oil built up but not much. I'm absolutely no expert though.
Mine was leaking at the front and burning on the exhaust so fitted a new rubber gasket. It still leaked a bit so I took it off again, cleaned the oil off and put gasket sealer on both sides of the rubber gasket. Completely dry now.
Thanks for the replies. I think this is a job I am definitely gonna add to the to-do list for the near future. Have a mounting list as of right now, but will get this done sharpish. Will give an update when I have the new gasket fitted.
