Smoking from rocker

[brazenskies]

Hi all,

I've got a little bit of light smoking that appears from under one of the rockers. I've not been able to see round the back but is it possible that oil is leaking through and the rocker cover gasket needs replaced?

It's not a massive amount of smoke but enough to make me worry about it.

If not this, what else could it possibly be?

Thanks,
Greg

Just a tad!

Two things.

Slight leak from the rocker box onto the exhaust.

And tidy up your engine bay, it's terrible!

This is what mine looked like.




But after a bit of Brasso.....



Just saying, HTH.

My humblest apologies. Having owned the car for over a week now you'd think I'd have managed that already...

Thanks to everyone for confirming!

I've found replacements from Racing Green TVR

Is this a Chimaera specific part or can you pick up a compatible one from a part supplier. Would one from a Land Rover or other car fit?

Thanks

All the same.
