So I'm trying to get my oil leaks sorted so I can park the 90 on my new drive, I've replaced the rocker cover gasket, torqued up the bolts properly so surely I can't be that!? I'm still getting oil between the rocker cover and the inlet manifold? Could it be the gasket on the inlet and exhaust manifold?? I've attached pictures. Any help would be much appreciated.

I've also attached a picture because I'm getting oil down the side of the engine.

Doesn't seem that bad, mine liberally coats itself but doesn't drip a drop. Saying that, I haven't seen one looking like that before. If it's coming from manifolds, give your turbo and air filter the once-over? But you should have delivery issues if you're blowing, and you would likely hear it. I've been told the exhaust can use tightening up sometimes, but it shouldn't be spewing oil.

I had exactly the same on my 300 TDi - I replaced the rocker and manifold gaskets and cured it.

I can't hear any blowing noises, only the belt spuealing! It was worse than this but I de-greased and jet washed the engine last week.
When I blanked the egr I noticed a thick oily sludge in the inlet manifold i bet the intercooler is the same, il change the gasket and clean them out at the same time and hopefully it cures the problem.
It always marks its territory writhin a few minutes where ever it goes. Haha
Thanks for the comments

I think this leak was part of the design specification for the engine...

Trademark rocker gasket leak retained from Austin days

Land Rover had shares in oil companies and wanted to maximise profits so they engineered leaks into all of their engines. True that, honest.
