Hi Guys,
Just fixed an oil leak that was causing one heck of a mess in the engine bay. The oil was leaking out from the front of the cylinder head cover and dripping down on the exhaust headers causing smoke to billow out of the bonnet when warm. Anyway, removed the engine cover and replaced part number 7 in the pic. No more oil leak!
Initially I thought it was an expensive tappet cover gasket replacement, but it ended up being a R 50 rubber flange.
