Default Leaky rocker head casket MY01 WRX

as it says how much damage will it cause to the engine if any. Is it still ok to use?

Cars only 3 yrs old at the 1st sept, went in to the garage to get it fixed before the warrnety was up but they only replaced the induction pipe which was faulty, should this be fixed under the original query?
Thanks

Hi mate,

Dont know about the warranty issues but had the same problem on MY97. Was done for £112.00 by Jap Innovations but it seems to have cracked again and is going back in on the 4th October to get fixed.

Told me not major problem but obviously need to keep my eye on the oil level until next week.

Thanks Bud, got a good quote of 60bucks + parts from a garage up here.

Thanks

I would keep the speed down in the mean time, oil + red hot exhaust right underneath could spell disaster.
