Hi all

Just a quick question, will an oil leak from the rocker cover gaskes (D2 V8) fail an MOT ?

Thanks

Thanks no, it just leaks onto the front diff and sump really. I understand that a misfire could affect emissions though ? Need to change / check coil packs / leads / plugs to rectify the misfire (hopefully)

you might get an advisory... for the tenner it'll cost surely you'd get the rocker gasket done?

Well yes I actually gave the parts including valley gasket but its getting the time to do it and it looks quite daunting - I'm bound to bollox it up somehow !!
