mmmm, just had another look, and yes, it does seem to be coming from above, and when I wipe with my finger - oil coloured....not good then - how much of a job is a 'p gasket'?

but will take it out tomorrow and get the engine hot, and see if it disappears when hot to double check - so might not be the core plug after all........

If its oil then its not the P gasket, more likely the exhaust manifold gasket
 
Well, got the engine warm, and the leak was still there, so looks like nothing to do with the core plug, just a coincidence that was recently replaced, and looks like an oil leak - so are these gaskets a major and expensive job to replace?
