I noticed today my VY V6 Commodore after running for a while smoke starts to come from the exhaust manifold in the engine bay and there is the smell of burning oil. Seems to be oil leaking from were the rocker cover attaches to the engine and on to the hot exhaust manifold at the rear of the engine (drivers side). On closer inspection oil seems to be leaking from the same spot on the passengers side but not as bad. After reading other threads on this site looks like I am up for new rocker cover gaskets for both sides. Just wondering if any one has any further tips on replacing the gaskets and whether I need to remove the throttle body to do the passengers side? Any info would be greatly appreciated as I can't afford to take it to a mechanic. Many thanks in advance.
Cheers.
