i've ordered new cam cover gaskets to see if this is where the leak is coming from, plus new plugs as the old ones where soaked in oil, & a new set of HT leads as the ends of these were sitting in oil & i'd noticed someone had done a very poor repair job to one of them as it had split, hopefully after the new parts are fitted the leak will stop & she will burst into life!
Mark,
Good luck but don't overtighten the cam covers! and make sure you thouroughly clean the plug recesses out BEFORE removing the plugs, as all sorts of rubbish that you don't want dropping in the engine collect in them
