Im assuming its piston rings, but dont know for sure....

Replace the cam cover gasket first. Easy peasy to do. Then theres plug cover seal as well I think. Beyond that I dunno.
Its a very common problem. Dont worry too much if it runs ok.
cheers mate, yeh it runs fine, well sounds kinda like a diesel sometimes...
Will look into buying and fitting some gaskets tommorrow then
