popped the bonnet earlier on my corsa to give it a mini service and i noticed there was oil all over the bottom half of the engine on the left hand side as you look at it (timing belt side) its really thick like its been doin it for a while and is all over the timing belit cover, but iv never noticed before and never noticed a drop in oil? just wondering if this has happened to anyone else before?

dont think its the rocker gasket mate its literally just round the bottom around the crank pulley, wondering if head gasket failure could cause this?
