Hey there, my new Soarer N/A has developed a possible oil leak from the rocker/cam (however its called) covers. My father is a keen tinkerer under the hood and tells me it's leaking onto the exhaust causing very noticeable smoke to come from under the car from the front and middle sections - particularly the middle but recently increasing at the front. It also quite clearly smells of oil and the smoke is particularly hot.

My father also tells me that it probably just needs some new gaskets, but I was looking for some opinions and advice from other Soarer owners.

Cheers, many thanks in advance...

New PCV and gaskets will probably do the trick, if that is the problem. Its probably been caused by the PCV failing.
