Help!! Oil coming from top of rocker cover!!

So had the engine running for a few mins to see how bad the exhaust leaked and noticed this.

Lots of pressure in the top end.

I had that when the head gasket had gone at one of the pushrods on my 2.5NA but, I would say yours is even worse - looks like there is a lot of pressure -cracks in the head?

What happens when you pull the oil cap whilst it's running?

Don't know. I'm out tomorrow so can have a look. I know it's not a massive job removing the head to check gasket. But is it worth it? Going to look at tappets tomorrow. Got feeler gauges today.
