Rocker Covers

[PLA]

I have oil leaking from the rear of both rocker covers. Its not bad but it is dripping on to the exhaust. Is this common?

I think so. In each of the last 3 times I had my Chim serviced, they needed to replace the rocker cover gaskets

Did they use the cheap cork gaskets, or the expensive-but-do-the-job-properly rubber ones?

Rocker cover tightening is usually a service item due to this problem, they can work lose after a few thousand miles.

It shouldnt be if tightened down properly in the first place, i have to say as mentioned earlier the rubber ones do seal better!

Don't know, but the garage I used to go to is bloody expensive, so you'd hope it was the decent ones (yeah right!)
