Ellis - If the leak is off-centre it might be a leaking cam cover, but without getting under the car you can't tell. RMS leaks give a few drips dead centre, so you might be lucky. Fingers crossed. I would take it to an indy and get them to have a look. I don't know if it would be covered by warranty (if you have one) but I somehow doubt it.
Thanks for the replys.
Richard, I am not aware of any independants around Aberdeen, only the OPC. I am happy to DIY if I know the correct procedure etc. Is there a clear description of this in the workshop manual?
Slick0007, This sounds like a possible solution thats worth a try.
thanks

For Pete's sake don't take my word for it though!!!
Well I've spent the last 40 minutes looking at the workshop manual, and it isn't crystal clear to me. What I would have liked to find is a nice clear DIY for changing the seal as a job in itself. No such luck. It is described in the section showing how to set up the camshaft timing for cylinders 4-6. This is my interpretation of the procedure:ORIGINAL: jetbox

Turn crankshaft clockwise until it reaches the No 1 cylinder top dead centre mark on the crankshaft pulley, and the groove in the end of the camshaft points towards the crankcase. (However, I can't work out if this is TDC on the firing stroke or exhaust stroke.) Unscrew the auxiliary chain tensioner, fit new sealing ring and torque to 80Nm.
The book time for the job is 36 minutes. Up to you if you want to give it a go yourself.
