Oil leak zd30 crd

[Rsayers]

Hi guys have found an oil leak on my crd zd30,
cleaned it up washed it down to get a good look
It seem to be coming from passenger side up top right hand
Corner if you were facing the car head on,
my personal opinion would be rocker cover gasket but still so unsure
Anybody have any idea can't upload photos which
Is no great help either "my apologies "

Booked in to see a mechanic but busy as so can't see him till the 17th
Of next month

I had oil pooling where you are talking and it was the hose off the intercooler at the rear spraying oil which was hitting the bottom of the I/C cover and running down and dripping off the cover.

Just had a look mate the leak is definitely directly under the rocker cover
Right up front in front of the fan.

Sorry mate my bad I pictured the wrong end of the motor.

G'day R man.
Reckon you're on track with the clean up and watch.
Can't think of anything which could leak engine oil in that place and must say it'd be a bit surprising (well to me at least) to have a directional spray from the rocker cover ending up there.
Maybe, just maybe, if the engine bay was a bit grotty, any other fluids could end up looking like oil but as long as all, ALL fluid levels are holding up O.K. just wait and keep a close watch.
Luck,
Col

Gday and cheers

Yea idk but it definitely isn't spraying
But is dripping from under rocker cover directl under the engine oil cap
Checked the cap is on tight no cross threading that's why
I'm leaning towards rocker cover gasket but I'm no mechanic so can't say for sure. 👍🏻

Cheers guys found the problem, was coming from rocker cover gasket was in good nick but there was a piece of hard silicon stuck in between rocker cover and head leaving a void.

Cheers for the help guys 👍🏻
