Just make sure you fill in the crevices, rubber doesn't make an excellent seal and you don't want seepage

Hi Batty, If your experiencing some seepage from your old chap (see what I did there?) Its prob the gasket, easy enough to do. Couple of things worth remembering when doing it with yerself:

Give both sides of your covers gasket surfaces a good scraping, to get a really clean flush surface.
Little dab of silicone sealant at the corners
Re tighten your nuts in the correct sequence

Don't over tighten or the rubber doesn't seal.
Tighten in correct sequence check them all again then check again in a week ideally

Related question, the bit on the end of the LH camshaft towards the bulk head seems to be pissing oil. What to I replace to fix that? I've been told camshaft oil seals?!

LH from drivers perspective?

End of your Exhausf cam? Thst will be your Cam angle sensor O-ring, presuming were talking mk1.

Replace it when you do the rocker gasket.
