Another one with dicky horns.... Last year the evening before the MOT on mine, I realised the water jets had blocked up. Typical timing!

Is there and obvious route where the oil is seeping from Ray? Or is it a
Just general dampness?

Think it's coming from high up the back of the engine, there was rather a lot to clean up. I may get it steam washed before MOT time

What degree of difficulty are we talking to fix this then?

I thought K BAN had a new head gasket the other year, in which case wouldn't it have had a new cam cover seal at that point?
