Hi all, had a look around couldn't find anything. After I decided to be silly in my ba xr6t and do a burnout, this was my first one in this car which has me really gutted😅. I've lost oil when the car is running, seems to out sides of rocker cover and possibly top of timing cover. Any ideas if this is more then gaskets at fault? Or have I kicked myself in nads bad lol, tia. Cheers

clean up the engine and then start it to see where the oil is actually coming out of and then diagnose going from there.

then it'll likely just be a timing cover gasket seal... it's a bit of a pain in the butt job to do but not overly difficult in terms of effort.

Assuming rocker cover leak, perhaps a quick sanity check of your breather as well just to make sure it's not blocked. I.e. pressuring the rocker cover and blowing out seals when on boost.
