Hey,
Well after a pain in the *** of a night, with the break lights falling on the top of Mt Dandenong, I reached the base only to be greated by the smell of burning oil...  : Anyway on close inspection it appears to be coming from the front (head light end) of the rocker cover on the passenger side. So me thinks I may need a new rocker cover seal... appears to be dripping down from there on to the case and thats where it's burning... dam it Anyway, two questions... 1. While it appears to be the rocker cover seal... anything else on the right hand (passenger side) front end, top, that could possible leak oil besides the rocker cover? 2. How hard is it to replace the rocker cover seal myself? Anything I should watch out for that may cause me problems? Also how much would a new seal cost me from bursons or the like... and anything else I would need for installing it... silicone gel or the like... may sound like a dumb question, but I'd rather ask a dumb question than make a dumb mistake! Cheers Guys Jono

just give the surface a real good clean while u've got the rocker cover off, make sure the whole gasket is seated properly.
