oil leak

[cerberus 1]

I have a minor oil leak which appears to be coming from the cylinder head gasket.....would this explain the drop in oil pressure .....obviously will get it fixed just a bit worried about driving it to the dealership.......doh lovely day car stuck in the bloody garage

If you mean the cam cover gasket, then yes, they can leak a little bit if they haven't been sealed properly. Get your dealer (or whoever sealed it last) to redo it. You'll only lose the amount of oil you can see, i.e. not very much at all - certainly not enough to change the level. Of course, if it *is* pissing out loads then you should be more careful!
