Update

Got the new spark plug seals through the post on Friday so decided to change them over on Saturday. Cleaned everything up, popped out the old seals and chucked the new ones in and also chucked a new rocker cover gasket on too. Now no leaks! so pleased and the smell of oil that i was getting in the cabin has also gone! I also changed my catch can breather filter for a long pipe that is now fed down near the wheel arch to vent the gasses out that way to prevent oil smells coming into the cabin.

Really pleased that everthing is now looking ok and will crack onto some other little bits that need tidying up in the coming weeks now the weathers perking up a bit :D

well done lewis, told you was simple fix,,
and running the pipe down your arch is what i do and alot of people who track their cars do that aswell..
Might be an idea to put some wire wool in the catch can so help soak some of the mist up..
