Hi all,

Ive recently rebuilt a B20b with new parts, good seals and gaskets.
Ive covered about 500km's and seem to be having a few annoying oil leaks.

Initially i had a warped tappet cover which resulted in oil leaking down the side of the engine towards the underneath of the engine.
I've replaced the tappet cover and there are no oil leaks from the rear of the head or above the spark plug pockets.

However there is oil leaking from the dipstick and against the engine block near the distibutor.
There are also traces of oil above the fuel pump.

The flame trap seal was replaced and the breather pipes are clean.
The crankcase ventilation system is piped properly.

Can you guys shed some light?

Many thanks
