Hi i have a small leak that leaves small bubbles of oil on top of the manifold ? is this head gasket ? or cam cover?

Speaking of the cam cover how easy is it to get off flat down and respray?

Thanks
James

By the looks of it it'll be your cam cover gasket thats leaking. Can get replacements easily enough from GSf/Euro Car Parts

Thats the one!

Its pretty simple to change, take the air filter housing off so get to the rocker cover, 8 or so nuts to remove then the cover will come off and you can swap the gasket out for a new one

Can also use a rubber gasket but i think that requires changing the studs for longer ones

VW do the rubber gasket with the studs and it's much better for not a lot extra.
