My local garage has replaced my 1.6 diesel engine with a 1.9 Deisel from a golf. It leaks from the rocker cover. The mechanic has changed the rocker cover gasket but it still leaks. He reckons it's because the new engine is designed to be fitted upright in a golf and that In the type 25 it's fitted on it's side. Any suggestions for a fix? My mechanic is trying to source a type 25 rocker cover which has different fixings (bolts round edge rather than in centre.) but can't find one. Any advice welcome

there's a post here on a similar subject with some suggestions:

you'll be hard pressed to get a rocker cover that bolts round the edge though as you'd need to tap the head to do that.....
