I have a small leak that looks like its coming from the drivers side of the rocker cover. It's not major but causing a bit of smoke. I'm thinking the gasket needs replacing. Any tips on doing this?
I have a c36 which I purchased with a suspected head gasket leak.
Plan to do this job but need to buy a head gasket and any other seals I will require. Where should I get these from?
I hope to get the head off and back on in a long weekend.
Any advice welcome.
Thanks Rob
