hi as above i have had this problem on and off and has just come back today [:@] after i thought i had sorted it, it always seems to come through the bolt between cylinder 1 and cam cover, i have had the rocker cover off and made sure the gasket (which is prob 2 months old) was clean around edges put it back on and it is still coming through? any ideas :shrug:

Hmm,

Maybe some obvious things here :

Check the oil breather isnt clogged, as it may be causing a build up of pressure and forcing oil out.
Did you use gasket seal when you fitted it?
