• Rocker cover gasket.
I'm waiting to see the outcome of the rocker cover gasket as I've just finished this. All 3 areas were contributing.
If it continues after this, is there anything else that could be contributing? Sump isn't leaking, and the only other culprit I can think of is doing compression tests on the cylinders to make sure they're up to scratch - mileage is 120k, so on the M54 I'd be surprised if they were on the way out.
I also did a smoke test with a Snap-on smoke machine, the air intake boots were perished so I replaced them too.
