    Default Oil leaking from head gaskets

    I noticed the other day there is engine oil all down the back of the engine. It appears to be coming from the rear of the head gaskets, on BOTH sides! There's no oil in the water or water in the oil. Anyone had this problem?

    Are you certain that its not leaking from the rocker cover gaskets? Maybe give it all a good degreasing and then after next time you drive it try and see if you can pinpoint exactly where it is coming from.

    Yeah i'm quite sure it's coming from the heads. I've tried degreasing and then checking later - there's no oil from the head gaskets upwards and rocker cover gaskets are new.
