Workshop job. You can half pull it aprt yourself to make it cheaper though.

My mate tried to do his Pajero one himself with no prior experience or help and all he did was shift the oil leak :lol:

Are you sure its the head / block join? More likely if it is running OK would be rocker cover, that dead easy and to be honest for a few bucks of gaskets or sealer I would be looking at that first.

Could also be a leaking sump breather / rocker cover breather.

If you have to ask what a rocker cover is you prob need someone to show/help you but its really basic.

Hey Ray, (Great Name by the way :) )

Mine does something similar doesn't leak enough to actually make it to the gound though more like excess seapage and mine is from the rocker cover. I have never bothered to fix it as its not a major problem yet.

If its that shes a pretty easy fix like they said above just pull them off and use some silicone sealer (High Temp) and put them back on. You may find they ar loose already (someone not finish a job properly) and need a tighten up.

Cheers
Ray

Yep hada nother look and it looks like the rockercover,there is a lot of oil on the ground after a drive but dosnt leak when just sitting round.
Will take the cover off once it stops raining, I have got some red gasket maker but mite be easer to just buy one.
thanks for the advice will let you nkow how it goes.
