is the oil leaking from above or below the exhaust manifold??

its its leaking below its the headgasket (i had mine leak, but it was due to me overfilling the sump, and using too thin an oil lol)

its its leaking above the exhaust manifold then its likely to be the rocker cover gasket, take that off, clean the faces (carb cleaner is good), a smeer of silicone sealer and a cork (not rubber) gasket, a little more silicone and put the cover back on. this shouldnt leak again.

if its not that then its the cam carrier-head seal, and thats a head off jobbie lol

it looks like oil is comin from the left side of the head gasket, but wat is the cam carrier head seal? and how could that go wrong then?
