Default Oil leak

Yesterday found out that there's a leak from right side of the engine block, a mechanik said that it is the head gasket leak. So i guess i have to change that , was searching through the net and found different types of them, on sumo power u can get 0.7mm , 1.1mm Cosworth ... Which one should i go for...

Or is it just rocker cover gasket....

The mechanic means the rocker cover gasket. It's common for them (esp. the driver's RHS one, as in your case too) to weep or leak.

This has been covered quite a lot on here - do a search to see what other members did to do the job properly. Not hard - just need to be methodical/careful in cleaning off old gunk/oil from the mating faces of the head and cover, etc...

Mine's doing this aswell (on the drivers side would you believe)

I'm about to fit a new gasket along with a smear of hylomar to see if this cures the problem!

I'll keep you posted
