alright there lads, my car aint that old, got it in september, thats when I'm getting its serviced cause i'm no where near 20k on the clock  It seems where you actually put the oil in (on the rocket cover) the metal bit below it is leaking, my mums BF said something about vaux need to probly put a new gasket in it, do i wait till my service or bother vaux for it now? apprantly it should be ok till the service.

sounds like the head gaskets gone, take it back to vauxhall m8 and get em to sort it (covered by ur warranty) cos if u leave it for to long it may lead to more serious problems.

This could be a silly question but have you looked at the bolts holding the rocker cover on and seeing if any are lose. It happes often with all the vibration the bolts get
