I've noticed that in my otherwise fairly clean engine bay that a small amount of oil is seeping out of the breather pipes on the rocker cover. It's not that much and easily wipes off but should it be doing this and can I stop it? there is a plastic cover over the pipes where they go into the rocker cover - I haven't taken this off to have a proper look yet but it looks a bit oily under there.

steve i think a little is ok, for what its worth my old 1400 ibiza did the same and i never noticed sudden or problematic oil loss.

How about a crank case filter? Stop the engine inhaling the oily crankcase gasses.
