    Default Coolant leaking from rocker cover

    I have a VR V6, and have noticed on the drivers side, coolant bubbling out a pin-sized hole in the rocker cover gasket on the top near the injectors.

    Is it as simple as replacing the gasket, or is there something else inside that will need replacing? I did a search but couldnt find much.

    Oil and coolant are fine, car runs fine too.

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    Thanks for that, Ill have another search for that on here. Also will this mean the rocker cover gasket will also need replacing now too?

    Cheers.

    if its leaking, dont worry about any noises just replace the gasket. drain the cooling system by removing the bottom radiator hose, take off the inlet manifold renew gaskets, use some gasket goo to make sure it seals up nice and tight then torque it all down, refill coolant and bleed the system.
