As per title, when the plenum was removed, I noticed a non too small amount of engine oil on top of the cam cover. I cleaned this off as a matter of course to see if it was a recent leak or spilt oil from an oil change (optimistic I know), checked it today only 4 days after being cleaned up and...

Im collecting my new (well new to me:rasp:) 172 cup on thursday, on the small list of jobs the garage was to correct prior to collection - one was to re-affix the passenger side skirt which has come loose near the front wheel arch. He contacted me today to say he couldnt source any clips from...
