New guy with weeping disco. Help!!

[Gazgeorge1977]

Hi to everyone, I had my disco for 3 1/2 years and always had a couple of drips coming from where the engine meets the gearbox where the fibre gasket is. Its damp on the drivers side (Dry on passenger side) and along the sump gasket area and must have been like this for a while as the oil was thick and stuck on. I got told that is could be the rocker gasket and it dripping down but i have cleaned the rocker front and back and no signs of it dripping after doing 30 miles. The oil thats there is engine oil but theres no fresh oil tail to this point. Today i have Gunked the sump but could the gasket weep? Has anybody had this problem before?? Also coolant bung above the manifold has old coolant around it. Is this a problem??

Thanks Gaz
