Is it a big job to replace rocker gasket or is it straight forward?? not really looked under car yet to see how to get to stuff?

Cheers for help

Not to bad as long as your midly confident with the spanners lol,you have to be very methodical with your cleaning and get some subaru 3 bond gasket sealant to smear round the head before installation of the rocker cover as the boxer engine is quite prone for this oil leak

I'm annoyed because I've only just got car and it's only done 2500 since engine rebuild, Only reason I've noticed that it's leaking, I was on my way home and car wasn't hitting full boost and ran like a dog, had a quick nosey under when I pulled in garage and both header gaskets are leaking must be anti lag that's killed em ha ha ha ha so I can only assume that is why car isnt getting up to boost?

Tbh rocker cover gaskets leaking wouldnt cause the boost issue mate or running rough,it might wise to get to the garage asap as something is going on by the sounds of it mate,on the rocker cover side though if it wasnt assembled with some form of good quality sealant when built it isnt a suprise its leaking as there a right pain for leaking on the rockers and usually start smoking because the oil drops straight on the manifold on the o/s rocker.

Yeah I know it's not the rocker gasket causing it , I found the headers have been leaking where they connect to engine so need some new gaskets on them, but while I was under I noticed oil on rocker gasket dripping down so more work to do :-(

try putting a washer under the rocker cover bolts this cured my leak after a lot of trying....
