Rocker cover leaking
Hello all, noticed a small oily smell last week and when I had a chance to look I noticed the drivers side rocker cover is letting by a small amount of oil onto my headers....believe this to be a common area?
Anyway, just wondered where people would suggest for buying a replacment set as Im struggling to find good quality stuff.
Cars an Api forged 2.0l classic, and Im intending on going for power over the winter so even upgraded gaskets will be fine. Thanks in advance

As above, you must only use genuine subaru gaskets. The non genuine ones really are ****e, and that's from experience. Also, get yourself some loctite gasket sealent, fit the new gasket into the rocker cover and then apply a layer of sealent over the top.
Speak to Import car parts.

And check your repair well
When I did mine, all seemed well on tickover but after a short drive oil was pissing out onto the manifold and the engine bay was in flames!!!!!!!
I managed to put it out and had to redo it - and then made sure I tested it properly
Make sure you replace the half moon gasket too

Bought my subaru kit from advanced automotives. Make sure you get the kit with the "half moon" pieces.
