2.0 sport '99. changed plugs on passenger side and at the top there's oil, could/would this be from a rocker cover gasket ??

Also from bottom of engine looks like it comming from the cam belt area which is hidden by a plastic cover and ruber seal.....

They are not serious by it's going in for a cambelt in the next 5k so i might get it done then while they've got it in bits.

Thanks for any responses.

Not an expert on where the leaks coming from but if any oil gets on the cam belt it could be a wee bit costly m8 (lots of bent metal). Might not do any harm to get somebody to look at it straight away!

I've looked at the belts and they've not got oil on them, wondering if it could be from the pully bearing in that housing.

Take off the covers and look m8 is the only way of knowing for sure
