I am loosing a bit of oil from the rocker box gasket. Can someone talk me through how to change it?

Assuming yours is a 6 pot....this is from Bentleys
When I did mine (only a 4 pot) I used some sealant all round, and you need to check that the half moon parts are located correctly at the back of the engine. They have a habit of moving when you put the cover down on them.
I also put sealant on the 4 spark plug seals, (yours has 6 ?).

Thanks Malc,
Yes, mine is a 6 pot.
also the old gasket can go very brittle and leave parts of it still in place, especially the gasket around the spark plug holes. I put loads of tissue paper in around the plugs and the valves, and then scraped of the brittle parts and hoovered the bits that fell off into the paper,.
