Hi all,
I'm still getting a leak of oil (fresh oil) from the car despite just changing the rocker gasket for a genuine Honda one.
I made sure it was the gasket was well seated into the rocker cover groove (after that was cleaned too).
I cleaned the engine perimeter before fitting and evenly tightened each of the bolts.
I believe it's leaking from the back corner next to the air box area as there is a black hose there which seems to have oil residue (fresh oil) on it and where it's reaching the bottom of the engine it's coming down that side.
No leak from the front of the engine or sump so it has to be that corner.
I didn't use gasket sealant as Cox Motor Parts advised I wouldn't need to.
The oil leak isn't major of course and the engine is running lovely.
Any advise appreciated.
Thanks
Steve
