Leak near dizzy but not dizzy?

Ive just looked at a leak that ive got at the dizzy, ive just orderd a dizzy seal off bob which im going to replace. But the leak looks like its coming from above the dizzy? Its had a new rocker gasket but is there anywhere else they are proan to leak? Like i say its had a new rocker gasket!

I degreased it yesterday & took it for a drive then noticed abit oil hire


Also oil down the front of the block near oil seporator?

shit/oil off the roads?
bov blowing filter oil around?

i have loads of crap around same area from bird slicer letting in other peoples exhaust gasses, etc. from road use

Are you meant to put abit of gasket sealent between the gasket & where it meets the top of the head surface?

I put gasket seal in the curved bits that line up with the ends of the camshafts and over the dizzy bit and under the bit that clamps over the top of the dizzy. It does no harm so I put it wherever it looks like it might help.

It looks like thats where its leaking. So ill whip it off & put some sealent round

yes put a thin coat of sealant in the half moon bits on the head as they do tend to leak from there.
dont use sealant all over the gasket though like some shitty messes ive seen

Ok ill try it, Also whats the best way to hold the round plug seald in the rocker cover when your putting it back on? Always paranoid about them falling out as i put rocker cover back on

stick a bit of grease on them and press them on...they wont fall off

I did think grease but wasnt sure. Cheers guys

Whats the best sealent to use for this? Theres that many different sealents

we use loctite, think its 5910 or something like that gaz

Ok ill look it up, Its not the blue stuff is it that i would of used for sealing the thermostat housing, loctite 5926? as ive still got some of that left. Maybe no good tho!

The stuff I used was blue but I can't remember what it was called.

with the half moon seals i wouldnt worry what it is too much as you only need a thin skim over them so its not like your gonna be getting big clumps breaking loose
