Pictured is my engine where the leak was. I tried to load a vid of it running but I haven’t figured this out yet so a still will have to do. I assumed the leak was the corner of the cam cover but the MG Rover mechanic diagnosed the issue to be oil coming up through the cam carrier bolt. So.... Ordered yet another gasket accompanied with Loctite 243 and Hylomar Blue. I was expecting the offending bolt to have stripped the thread in the head but it was ok. After cleaning the bolt up and drying up the hole I covered the threaded part 0f the bolt in loctite and under the head of the bolt a wee bit of H Blue. Nipped up the bolt to 10nm and left while I took off the air box to do more rust proofing then fired her up. The pic is the result, bone dry! Big thanks to Ewens for steering me in the right direction with this.

Well done. Good feeling when you get a niggle sorted . Get the MG mechanics name and address posted on here , there may be other people in need of his experience.
