norm58 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) hi, recently bought my first Focus. A 2008 1.6 Zetec petrol. Had the cam-belt done straight away, no problems. The guy told me there was a leak from the rocker cover gasket. When I got home and looked at the receipts that came with the car, I found that since 2012 it 's had 4 rocker cover gaskets! I haven't got a receipt for a new rocker cover, so I'm assuming that maybe that's where the problem lies. Anybody else had this problem? Thanks.

artscot79 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 if its a ti vct 115bhp its a common issue due to the angle it sits at replacing the rocker cover can sometimes fix it using instant gasket before putting the gasket in place can also help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Pattern rocker cover gaskets are known to leak quite often, buy a genuine one and it wont leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
