Try compression testing it if there is oil leaking from the gasket it might also be leaking from the combustion chambers

Did you remove the spark plugs to "read" them?

Yeah they're out. Do they look alright?

I had the cambelt cover off too and could see some oil down the side.

Plugs look fine. Have u tried the leads yet? I had the same problem turned to be a plug lead must have damaged it pulling it out, I found out by taking the plugs out, plug them back into the leads and get someone to turn the car over to see for a spark

We have a fix, turns out my Emanage wasn't happy so made some adjustments and now running OK. Everything else was just a red herring! Thanks for the replies.
