Noticed my sisters car is leaking oil on the drive, had a look and looks like its leaking from here ( top left, near dipstick) where the bolt is seems to be coming from there

Is it the rocker gasket and is it hard to change?

Looks like the rocker, not sure about those engines but its a common thing on the Puma 1.7s so yeah.

Not that difficult to change, just make sure it stays clean and sits nice when you torque it down.

I try to avoid it but on the cheaper gaskets, yes.

KA's are such a CUNT for leaking fluids, sisters used to leak out of the thermostat gasket, used to run along the head and then drip on the exhaust producing some lovely smoke that looked like it was breaking down when you ragged it.
