Amarin.

You were right about the exhaust manifold, I found one of the gaskets (the one to the front) was placed in the wrong way. What happened is that during the re-assemble, it fell, so when I put it back, I was probably betrayed by the light or simply I was tired, and put it back quickly the other way round.

So yesterday I did the job again, put brand new Elring gaskets again, and the engine sounds very good now.
I will post a video later.

I drove the car for about 10Km, no issues, still leveling the coolant, but I noticed a line of oil that comes out the oil filler cap, and clearly goes down the valve cover etc.

I think this is only the filler cap that needs to be replaced.

Does it happen frequently that the filler cap fails?

Thank you,
Alessandro
