Hmmmm.
Took the car into the local mechanic today to get the oil leak found and fixed.
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
F A I L .
Rang at 3:00pm - They had found the rocker cover gasket leaking, so had ordered a new "..Rubber one, because they're
much better than the older cork ones..." was told the car "...had been road-tested..." and was ready to go. - $14 for the gasket and about 45 minutes for the whole job.
Sweet.
Nicked out of work at 3:45 to collect car from mechanics - literally 500m from work... Paid the money and drove it back to work; backed it into a parking spot and looked out the front - WTF?

- Oil Slick
Popped the bonnet - COPIOUS amounts of oil in the two rebates in the intake manifold, and all down the back of the block and dripping on the ground where it was parked.
Phone call to the mechanics and the 'boy is back, and spending the night. The mechanic popped the rocker cover off and the
CORK gasket was not seated along the mating face for most of the rear of the rocker cover...

Another new gasket ordered and hopefully they'll get it right with the second attempt. (Confidence in this mob now all together shattered)
Road test my arse!
We'll see what happens tomorrow.
