right, these are the things which i have replaced:
sump gasket
dizzy seal
driveshaft seal
End cap of the gearbox
rocker gasket
the leaks are coming from the gearbox again, but not the end cap, its the next section along (dont know what its called, ANYONE??) and another leak coming from behind the engine, and leaking down the back of the sump, cant see where tho....any ideas what could be leaking behind there?

courtney charged £300 to change the oil pump gasket 
cnuts!
there are two gaskets for the oil pump, not particularly difficult to do, just time consuming as you need the manifold off and sump off (annoying if you just did sump gasket!  )
sounds like you having the same problems as mine fella, you will get there in the end & its worth it trust me...
