    Circle 1 is where the oil seams to be, and circle 2 is where i think the oil leak is.
    The rubber seals look quite bad.

    How hard would these seals be to change and what seals do i need?

    This is leaking from the rocker cover(if i am correct?)
    How hard is this seal to change and this the right seal i need?

  2. The rocker cover seal is very easy to do, just prise the retaining wire bit off that keeps the cover on and it will pop off easily, make sure you get all the old gasket out and pop in the new one, just rub a little engine oil around the gasket to seat it....
    The inlet manifold boots ( pic 2 ) are a bit trickier and I took the easy way out and had Mr Fish do mine a few weeks ago, to do that and a few other jobs took a couple of hours, he timed the engine and tweaked it here and there and its running beautifully now, I dont think there should be too much oil leaking from there though as its not a oil pipe or anything...
     
  3. Okay thanks for the reply, i will order the seal now.
    okay i will have a bit of a better look the the pipe, on the weekend and will update the thread.

    Thank you.
