Oil leak on drivers side rocker cover
I have an oil leak on the drivers side rocker cover - i can see where it has dripped down onto the manifold and evaporated, hence the fine white oil smelling smoke i get once every so often then stops after about 10 mins.
I just wanted to know how urgent this was to fix and what costs are involved? Anyone had it done???
Thanks,
Mark.

This is the most common sorce of oil leaks on scoobs (the drivers side most common). The cheapest way to fix would be to clean up the edge and run a line of instant gasket around it (no need to dismantle).

has happened to me 4 times - apparently very common. it came back and then went away!!! in terms of urgency, i was previously advised that it could potentially cause a fire - hope that gives you an idea! of urgency!!!

thanks for the replies. i think i'll get it done on my next oil change in a month or two. try and incorporate the labour costs into the service maybe...
ref fire - luckily, i installed a small powder extinguisher in the footwell the other week. hopefully, i wont have to use it!!!!!
