Just noticed a small leak on the side of my engine cover.
Do you know if it's oil? Might be worth taking the plastic engine cover off to see if it's running down the VC?
The plastic cover doesn’t seal any oil - it’s just a vanity cover over the top of the metal rocker cover itself. The oil separator is underneath it though - so it’s worth whipping the plastic cover off to check whether you’ve got a leak from that?
My mechanic has indicated that the block engine valve is causing the leak!
