Oil near plug #1/oil cap

[haimsey]

Just wanted to make sure this small amount of oil that seems to collect around plug #1/the oil cap is from the VVT sensor. Not a lot of oil, just a PITA and a little bit of a mess
If so anyone got the part numebrs

Its plug 4 btw.

Its going to be the VVT seal at a guess, message Wolverhampton Renault on here.

Changed the VVT seal at the weekend. Cleaned the cam cover up whilst at it. There is now a small amount of oil there again (near the second from left branch of the inlet manifold.
Where is this going to be coming from? Is there a gasket on the breather plate that sits under the inlet mani?

either there or one of the rocker cover bolts

 

[haimsey]

Ah, it is around one of the bolts as they're slightly recessed. What's a fix for this if it is a bolt?

 

[haimsey]

Suggestions?

Take the bolt out and put a small amount of silicone gasket under the head of the bolt and do it back up
