Ford Focus 2009 oil leak help please

[Seaweed]

Hello everyone,

New member here with a problem I want some advice on. I have a 1.6 zetec focus which has an oil leak from the top part of the engine. The sump area is all fine and the leak is coming from above the head so no issues there. It has leaked quite a lot of oil and it's been running down the back of the engine onto the manifold area. I have only just bought the car so I'm a little worried about it all at the moment. Is there anything else it could be ? It is definitely engine oil and I want to find a solution for this problem as soon as possible.

Any happy would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Sounds like the plastic cam cover has a leak and needs a new seal.

Thanks for the reply. I have just replaced the rocker cover gasket so will keep a close eye on things and hopefully that will be it sorted. Is there anything else it could be ?

Thanks
