I have done a lot of ks in this car now and straight away i was thinking this may be a big repair. i left the car at my mechanic and told him the problem. i also told him i had just returned from Echuca in Victoria and the car went like a dream.
I got a call from him in the afternoon saying your car is ready. The problem was rocker cover gasket had to be replaced as it was letting the engine oil into the Spark plug wells.
I supplied the new spark plugs and when he said $350 dollars i was more then happy to pay that as i was expecting a lot more but didnt say that to him.
If i had known it was only a rocker cover gasket i could have done it myself but wasnt really sure what the problem may be at first. It turned out to be a win for me and i was happy.

Cheap enough in my books without getting your hands dirty, I consider that a fair price from a reasonable mechanic.
