    It's not a hot or cold issue anymore, the car's just horrid to drive all the time now. Had a look at the plugs today and what a sight. All of them where drenched in oil and a couple of the rubber boots were cooked. Is this the same reason for the oil leak at the back of the engine and is it the rocker cover gasket or something more than that?

    Suggestions for what to do next appreciated.

    Replace the rocker gasket, costs about £25 and maybe new plugs (theres a very good guide somewhere here on the forum)
    Clean everything thouroughly then it should be ok

      I just saw this thread this AM. Having read through it, I was very surprised that someone didn't suggest that you have a dead Power Output Stage (POS) channel or a dieing coil. You can check this by following information shown here:

      and here (follow the embedded links inside as well):

      Naturally, you will still need to replace the cam cover gasket and the coil to plug boots that have been oil-damaged.
